Futurist Stories by Margery Verner Reed
"Futurist Stories" by Margery Verner Reed is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century, likely during the post-World War I period. The book explores themes of hope, despair, love, and the profound impact of war on human lives, presenting various poignant tales that reflect on the human condition amidst societal upheaval. The stories within the collection delve into a range of characters and situations that highlight their emotionalstruggles and aspirations against the backdrop of war and turmoil. For instance, in "The Dream Muff," a young girl clings to memories of her past amid the chaos of Russia, while in "In Algiers," a woman's hope for a blissful future contrasts sharply with the grim realities brought on by conflict. Each tale captures moments of beauty and heartache, featuring characters that exhibit longing for connection and the burdens of memory as they navigate through their altered lives in a world marred by strife. Reed’s storytelling intertwines personal and universal themes, ultimately presenting a mosaic of human experiences shaped by the unsettling nature of their time.
