ANTHONY NANSON      Foreword by Mimi Thebo

 

In these stories Anthony Nanson charts the territory between travel writing and magic realism to confront the exotic and the enigmatic. Here are epiphanies of solitude, twilight, and initiation. A lover’s true self unveiled by a mountain mist … a memory of the lost land in the western sea … the blessing of ancient gods upon those who surrender to their allure … a quest for primeval beings that linger on the edge of extinction. In transcending the line between the written and the spoken word, between the familiar and the unfamiliar, between the actual and the imagined, these tales shoot sparks across the gap of desire.
