The book "In My Time," consists of fifteen short stories, three of which are in Spanish and English, all dating from 1965 through 2016, all in chronological form which in essence is a biographical fragmentary sketch of the author (the last story being on paragliding). These are unpublished stories to date, non-fiction in mode, and crisscrossing the author's life (his pre-adolescent and his Vietnam period are left out). He adds in a manner of speaking, homages: realizing profoundly the passionate desire in all people is to be understood, to have their stories told. Dr. Siluk, certainly among the best storytellers, brings out sketches starting from his High School days in St. Paul, Minnesota along with his neighborhood times, a night trip to San Francisco, and two stretches in West Germany; to include, an adventure in India, Egypt, Easter Island, unforgettable Old Stan, and a few moments in Peru. The author-perhaps as in the style of Sherwood Anderson, focuses more on the rich and refreshing originality, and natural and genuineness in a story, centering around the motif, to bring out an insight rather than just storytelling for the sake of a high moment. Within the bulk of these stories, Chick Evens is Dr. Dennis L. Siluk's pseudonym.
