The works in Hindsight are both contemporary and historical and feature a remarkably wide-ranging collection of protagonists motivated by startling and compelling dilemmas. An aged Irishwoman is pathologically obsessed with faerie folk; a small-time thief seeks redemption for a past betrayal; a college professor confronts aging with secret nighttime journeys; a British infantry sergeant in WWI seeks the magic that has kept his platoon from harm. In these utterly unique stories, Corwin delivers the most unexpected plot turns with the calm assurance of a master storyteller.
