Klappentext In Spirit Seizures! the past brushes up against the present! the voices of both the sane and the obsessed are heard! and the spirits speaking unbidden through the mouths of some spurn others who desire them most. Some dwell contentedly on the surface of life! even making a science or an art of what they see around them! but many of the characters in these stories see--sometimes calmly! sometimes with agitation--beneath life's surface. With humor and poignancy! these stories follow the elusive currents that link us to the eternal! the fluid boundaries that wash between love and mourning. Zusammenfassung Written with humor but often poignant when they reveal the veins of longing that run through men and women, the stories in Spirit Seizures follow the elusive currents that link us to the eternal, the fluid boundaries that wash between love and mourning.
