THE WIZARD’S MANUSCRIPT

Recalling certain moments in fabulism-Borges, Calvino, even Cervantes-this precisely impressionistic collection invites the reader to share the narrator's experience, both strangely familiar and strongly defamiliarizing, of self-discovery as recognition of self in others. Through vivid vignettes and etched philosophical meditations, variously funny, heartfelt, astonishing, and ordinary, the reader accompanies the narrator on a physical journey of great emotional affect and spiritual meaning.
