Description

There is something special about short stories. Every word matters. For authors, it can be challenging to develop characters in so few words, but for those who get it right, the effect is remarkable.

After 42 years as a successful attorney in the Acadiana area, Jim Lambert has turned his skills toward creating short stories. In his new, critically acclaimed collection of stories, "Sub Rosa and Other Stories" Lambert's stories explore pain and loss in the South. He has created quirky, often marginalized characters who contend with forces beyond their control or understanding — including racial terror, childhood traumas, family betrayals. Lambert's readers meet characters including a childhood friend of Lee Harvey Oswald, a young lawyer sent to investigate the murder of Black troops in the Jim Crow South — and a mental patient obsessed with the film Harold and Maude. In each story, Lambert reveals the humor and tragedy running through the lives of these unique human beings.
