"THE BROAD BACK OF THE ANGEL features thirteen stories about love. In the 'Magician in Love' stories a celebrated performer withdraws from the stage to devote his bizarre and wonderful talents to keeping a good woman's love. In the 'For Love of' series, a mysterious descendant of Zapata dresses up in a white suit to conduct purification rites for needy North American females. Elsewhere, a speaker for 'Dangerous Women' sends out her signals from the love parlor to all potential lovers, while a nice guy named Rodin risks his neck struggling for 'Friendship' through a pair of disarmingly innocent tales. Meantime, back at the nursing home, a beleaguered young patient discovers the key to 'Iron Woman' and unlocks the gate for women everywhere. And in the title story a doomed paraplegic abandons his wheel chair and his closet philosopher to instruct Death's Messenger in the works of love.". Signed by Author(s).
