Disintegration and Other Stories, a twelve part collection, embraces the themes of stories within stories, truth, identity, love, and loss, all threaded through with disintegration. An eclectic array of characters are woven through the whole: from a 17th century London alchemist and his contemporary, a Venetian noblewoman, to a modern day homeless ’princess’; from a lone astronaut to an ensemble of waiting actors. Lost and misplaced relationships share these covers with tales of faith and finally hope.
