The Traffic Light and Five Other Stories

By Jack Dopp

0 - Default Title
Description
The first story in this book, "The Traffic Light", is an invitation to look beyond our judgmental nature and embrace our better angels. The five other stories in the book are at once absurd, bizarre and serious. Although the stories are very different in tone and substance, they all weave a particular moral or hidden message that challenges our rational orthodoxies. It is my hope that after the reader navigates through these unusual stories, that they can risk taking a deep dive into the foreboding sea of the irrationality. Jack Dopp, 78, retired after 50 years of running a newspaper distribution company. Jack spent 3 years writing a novel," The Old Oak Tree" (unpublished). Then he wrote six short fiction pieces over several years, which are the contents of this book. Jack was raised in Gary, Indiana but has lived for the last 55 years in his current home, Bloomington Indiana.
Originally from Bloomington, Indiana, artist and educator Michael Dopp earned a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an MFA from UCLA. Now based in Los Angeles, his work spans drawing, painting, ceramics, and installation. He also co-ran the gallery Arturo Bandini and is a partner in the design store Zakka Bakka.
