The Amazing Mr. Morality
The Amazing Mr. Morality: Stories | Jacob M. Appel
2 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
The Amazing Mr. Morality features tenacious men and women whose determination to buck middle-class social convention draws them toward unforeseen challenges. A failed television producer insists upon having a woodchuck relocated from his lawn, only to receive desperate letters in which the woodchuck begs to return. An overconfident ne'er-do-well obtains a lucrative lecture invitation intended for a renowned ornithologist and decides to deliver the speech himself. An innocuous dispute over whether to rename a local street opens up racial fault lines that prove deadly. The collection concludes with the title novella in which two unscrupulous ethicists, writing rival newspaper columns, seek to unseat each other by addressing questions such as: If you're going to commit a murder, is it worse to kill when the victim is sleeping or awake?

I adored these stories and they really make you think about choices and consequences. From the woodchuck who keeps sending letters to the family who had her relocated from their yard to the ethics columnists who engage in very unethical behavior, all these stories are delightful.
