Description
Book SynopsisFocusing on the universe of beauty and dreams with an intensity that delves into self-recognition, these stories written over the last 15 years engage the reader with questions about our public and private lives. The stories touch on questions of identity and belief, the phantoms of memory, and the oppositions of beauty to experiences. Told in a language of brilliant power, these tales enable the reader with their enigmatic and dreamlike quality.
Trade ReviewFor his craft, his knowledge and originality of thought, his ear for the rhythm and poetic weight of language, Virgo deserves the highest regard among fiction writers. Neither modernist nor post-modernist, although embracing characteristics of both, this writer belongs to a longer line of storytellers, whom he honours throughout these short fictions." —
The Toronto Star"Implicit in [Virgo's] fiction is a reverence before both the miracle of consciousness and the miracle of nature." —
Times Literary Supplement"A writer at the peak of his form!" —
