OUTA MY MIND

About the Book

World War II veteran, dentist, and university professor Edgar J. Goldenthal draws on the rich experiences and thoughts of his own life to deliver this fascinating and provocative collection of short stories. From the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 to the happenings at a scientific research center in 2053 Florida, Goldenthal's tales explore the curious nature of life's inevitabilities.

"The Fourth Floor" tells of a grieving husband heartbroken over his wife's death, while "58th and Broadway" reveals the subconscious thoughts of a man hit by a drunk driver in New York City. "Sabcha" recounts one woman's experience hiding from the Russians during World War II, and "Nicolas" tells of a kindergarten teacher who decides to divulge the truth about Santa Claus to her unsuspecting students.

Ranging from the serious to the downright zany, the stories in Outa My Mind encompass one man's unique, often surprising, and always entertaining take on the world.
