The Venice Apartment and Other Stories Summary
|
In The Venice Apartment and Other Stories, a painter, a singer and a student read the soul levels of other people, a distant
self and other times in music, art, and arthitecture centuries old. A mother and son break with their past, held in the vial
of an ancient amulet, and broken figures, long dead, leave the memory of loss and desire in old places of residence, where
new occupants and travelers passing through learn lessons about power, possession and freedom. Love, death and art are
intimately bound up together in this collection of metaphysical love stories, that capture the elusive element in
relationships and in the creative lives of artists and truth-seekers.
