TRACKS is a novel in stories that takes place on a train traveling from Baltimore to Chicago. Each story is told from the perspective of a passenger on the train.
The stories stand alone, but they become stronger when linked together. A secondary character in one story becomes the main character in the next. My intent is to look at the decisions each character faces and how those decisions, as well as their interactions with the other passengers, alter the path ahead and cast past experiences and choices in a new light. Although entirely unique, TRACKS is similar in nature to Joan Silber's National Book Award-nominated Ideas of Heaven: a ring of stories. Excerpts from TRACKS have been published or are forthcoming in Coloquio, To Be Read Aloud, Write Here Write Now, and in an anthology of fiction from Loyola University's Press. TRACKS was also featured at the Baltimore Book Fest, the Mid-Atlantic's largest celebration of the literary arts. Eric D. Goodman is a professional writer and editor. You can read Eric's most recent fiction in the current issue of The Baltimore Review. Group Tags
