Because I’m Already Dead

A collection of short stories about love, war, and other life stupidities.

In this uncompromising collection, Willi Lichtenson cuts through the surface of ordinary life to expose what lies beneath, desire, fear, violence, faith, and the quiet moments where everything fractures.

Across these pages, you’ll meet a gallery of characters pushed to their limits: A shell-shocked soldier and a man already halfway to death; a pensioner searching for what he’s lost, and what he’s become; a Hassidic woman living a double life; a heart patient, a robber chasing love, an avenger of old crimes; and others who refuse to stay within the lines of morality or reason.
