The Memory Of Marble

THE MEMORY OF MARBLE is a collection of ten stories that examine the boundaries we create between passion and obsession. The people in the stories seek refuge from emotions by cocooning themselves in the worlds of books, pianos, art, and fingerprints. A dying man imagines he can smell the history of graveside monuments, a fresco restorer battles madness as his diseased skin appears on the paintings he loves, and a blind book collector’s world collapses when he discovers an insect incubating on a page. They inhabit arcane worlds that explode with sensation and sensuality. Praise for THE MEMORY OF MARBLE: ＂...has the quality of an exquisite mathematical equation＂ Fiona Capp on the story ’Temperament’. ＂An amazing story, really arouses the tactile responses of the reader. My fingertips tingled＂ Ania Walwicz on the story ’Cocoon’
