Award-winning author and playwright, Roselee Blooston, has assembled a complication of everyday human tensions in her newest book known as, The Chocolate Jar and Other Stories.
Her collection of eight short stories, running the gambit from troubles with a peculiar co-worker to the relationship between a single mother and her teenage son, explores transgressions large and small and the lingering power of past conflicts.
“The stories often teeter on the edge between satire and pathos, mixing bitter with sweet,” says National Book Award Nominee, Ellen Prentiss Campbell. “Blooston, playwright and actress as well as author, gives center stage to the overlooked and discounted, like two plus-size dancers in ‘The Elephant in the Room,’ with wry empathy; in these stories, characters smile through clenched teeth and blink back tears, but the show goes on.”
