A LUKE of ALL AGES and FIRE and ICE

These finely-crafted, moving novellas beckon us on through winding corridors of human consciousness and human hearts. In prose both lean and lyrical, Mark Saba offers intimate portraits of characters compelled to plumb the meanings of faith, loss, and the intensities of that extraordinary thing, an ordinary life. These meditative stories present us with time's very texture, spiraling through events, moments, decades, in worlds of stark immediacy and chameleon mysteries. There's love here, and sorrow, and the pleasures of the palpable, all made new by this perceptive writer's artful words. Savor them. Plunge in. -Jeanne Larsen, author of the Silk Road Trilogy
