Fiction
With "A Sensitive Soul," Andrew Coburn teaches us that the romance story needs a psychiatrist-specifically, Dr. Wall, who, like the allegorical Wall in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream speaks to the humor and awkwardness of all relationships. Romance comes with sexual harassment lawsuits, philosophy, corporate corruption, and eczema. For all that, we still need the love story, and the tension between realism and allegory that holds its elements together.
