Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Readers who want to use fragmented time to read an English short story

Not a good fit for
- Readers expecting long, complex plots and deep character development

Reading tips
- Read through once to grasp the direction of the story, then go back to where the coincidences appear and appreciate the narrative arrangement.
- Keep paper and pen handy to record character relationships and the order of events, which helps clarify the connections between accidental events.
- If using it for English study, select dialogue passages for close reading and accumulate colloquial expressions.

About the author
Daniel Callahan (1930–2019) was an American bioethicist and a co-founder of The Hastings Center. He had a wide influence in bioethics and wrote a number of works on issues such as medical technology, the allocation of health resources, and the value of human life. One of his works is included in this catalog, Any Coincidence Is. Public information about the specific subject matter and writing style of this work is limited, so a detailed account is difficult; judging from the title and the author's research background, however, it may continue Callahan's enduring concern with contingency, ethical judgment, and the human condition. Overall, Callahan's writing is marked by a clear sense of problems and lucid argumentation, and he was skilled at bringing philosophical and ethical reflection into publicly discussable medical and social issues.
