The ten stories in this brilliantly translated second volume include a chance encounter with a 112-year-old pixie, a walk through Jesus & Mary's celestial flower garden, a mid-night journey through the Milan train station, a haunting tale of forbidden love, a sea voyage to Tripoli, & the end of the world. Ortese intertwines elements of the fantastic with autobiography, addresses personal griefs in apocalyptic dreams, & imbues documentary realism with devastating undertones of social satire.
