Yours Truly by Murray Watts
Here is a collection of brilliant and poignant parables and stories, for personal reading and public use. Each offers a penetrating insight into some aspect of the human condition. They include: The Spider Who Believed in Himself: a cautionary tale for millennials. An Artist Tries to Create the World: she tries and tries again . . . but she still can’t get it right. The Divine Call Centre: ‘Your call is important to God. Please don’t hang up.’ An Atheist Troubled by His Doubts: he just wishes that he had the simple faith of other atheists.
