Neither a collection of short stories in the traditional sense, nor a novel, these tales overlap at times, in places intersect, often diverge, but are all held together by the thread of memory. An odyssey of hypnotic beauty originating in a small-time city in Kansas, Adrift in a Vanishing City takes the reader through a tortured landscape of obsessive love, to real-time cities such as Budapest, Berlin and Mexico City, down dead-end streets marked by the invisible graffiti of the lives lost in them. Told in hauntingly lyrical prose, Adrift in a Vanishing City is a passage within the continuum of memory-from which a hidden aspect of human experience arises, and back to which it will return. In this book, space and time become so malleable, the disturbing echoes of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah whisper softly beneath the summer moon as it arcs over the fields in Kansas, bringing the reader to the understanding that everything underlies the moment on which we stand overlooking existence-the moment we call now.
