The Night in Question by Tobias Wolff was published in 1996. It has a complicated plot that involves many certain instances that ultimately intertwine together. A man is shot, another man is fired for writing an untrue obituary, a man loses his mind, a woman is uneasy about her brother, and a girl is attacked by a dog. These stories are all connected and form a complex plot that shows the inevitableness of truth.
These short stories all take place in many different places, such as Vietnam, but Wolff uses humor to convey a single truth about truth, which connects every short story into one. In its final effect, such a technique is both nail-biting and entertaining.
