From the Back Cover:
"John Taylor's stories are always elusive. . . His writing eschews overt drama, yet it is simple only in appearance: beneath the transparent surface lies a phantom-like world of fugitive pleasures, ambiguous thoughts and impalpable sensations. No overarching tranquillity comforts or reassures us."--Ouest-France
About the Author:
Originally from Des Moines, John Taylor has lived in France since 1977. He is the author of five other collections of short prose: "The Presence of Things Past", "Mysteries of the Body and the Mind", "Some Sort of Joy", "The Apocalypse Tapestries", "If Night is Falling". As a critic, he writes about contemporary French literature for the Times Literary Supplement in London as well as the "Poetry Today" column in the Antioch Review. His essays have been gathered in the three-volume "Paths to Contemporary French Literature" and in "Into the Heart of European Poetry". He is also a noted translator of French poetry (Philippe Jaccottet, Pierre-Albert Jourdan, Jacques Dupin, Laurence Werner David, José-Flore Tappy, Georges Perros et al.)
