How does the author use symbolism in the collection, There's Something I Want You to Do: Stories?

In the story collection, car accidents symbolize the uncertainty of life and wellbeing. For example, in “Chastity,” Sarah dies in a tragic car accident not long after marrying and giving birth to a child. Her husband, Benny, is heartbroken in the wake of this abrupt tragedy, which defies tenets of hope and traditional narrative.
