About the Book

Alma Winklegrin's Lower Denture Is Missing is an eclectic collection of short stories and prose works covering a wide variety of humorous and serious subjects as illustrated by titles such as:

§ Adversity University
§ A Ride With Grandma
§ Return Of The Warrior
§ Apology To A Dead Enemy
§ Spillane Revisited

An excerpt from the short story "A Moment In The Sun" portrays the author's poetic style-"He had come to think, to be alone, and let his mind wander, to heal a recent hurt, to feel the bleak disconsolation of a momentary despair "

R. R. Roper experiments with unusual variations of fiction ranging from stories that are all dialog to stories that are all narration, a short play, reminiscences, and stories which could be categorized more as tales than short stories. The characters portrayed are truly defined by their very personal idiosyncrasies.
