Abstract: These stories are autobiographical in that they are attempts on my part to introspect and find and state what I consider to be the truth concerning certain of my personal attitudes toward existence. Charlie, the central character of all three stories, is an autobiographical extension, or probe, which I use to explore depths which are no longer open to me personally. The language of these stories is as close to that of the people with whom I was raised as I can manage. My object in this pursuit is obviously verisimilitude, but there is another factor involved which is of greater significance; these stories are actually not stories per se; they are yarns: something to be told aloud. These yarns are all part of a larger work which I intend to call, the Charlie Ledger, in which I record the profits and losses of his days.
