vernon_brief_description	All of the stories in this volume reveal Dann’s ability to draw the reader completely into his settings and the minds of his characters; even when we’re not quite sure of where we are going, we are compelled to go along for the ride. John Kessel calls Dann’s fiction “stories of transcendence, spiritual exploration, harrowing psychological transformations. Rebirth and conceptual breakthrough. And yet they are grounded in a developed sense of personal relationships, the rag and bone shop of the human heart.” Set in places as diverse as Renaissance Italy, upstate New York, near-future Paris, Nazi Germany, modern-day Athens, and Hollywood in the 1950s, here are compulsively involving stories by a master storyteller. -- Publisher.
