| 520 | _a"And It Was Good" by A. Earley is a poignant tale likely written in the early 1960s. This novella blends elements of speculative fiction and war narrative, exploring themes of humanity, conflict, and redemption. It presents a unique perspective on the relationship between man and a higher power, reflecting on the consequences of societal turmoil and the search for hope amidst despair. The story follows a soldier who experiences profound moments in a war-torn landscape, characterized by a lack of sustenance and growing desperation among the troops. In his journey, he encounters a mysterious stranger who aids him and his fellow soldiers, providing them with sustenance and care in their dire situation. As the tale unfolds, themes of compassion and selflessness emerge, with the stranger ultimately sacrificing himself for the soldiers. After the war, the protagonist returns to his mother, sharing the bittersweet lesson that in the face of suffering, there can also be glimpses of goodness and reassurance. Throughout the narrative, whittling serves as a metaphor for the notion of creation and renewal, culminating in the hope represented by the image of a child being carved from wood, symbolizing a second chance for humanity.
