STORIES

“You have to suffer the full fall and complete self loathing
in order to come around to the forgiving of one’s self.”
—Toni Morrison

Each entry below is a short autobiographical story, primarily taking place against the background of my career in Wall Street (albeit a brief one—7 years or so) in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Although each story is intended to stand alone, when taken as a whole the stories become fragments of a larger narrative—my own soul search. You may read them in order, beginning with number 1, to get a sense of the big picture but there are not written to produce a tight cohesive story line. Instead the desired effect is to produce a kind of gestalt.
