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.

They inhabit arcane worlds that explode with sensation and sensuality. Praise for THE MEMORY OF MARBLE:
