Dear Ben,
Which was just a quick
way of saying:
The eloquence and poignancy of each of these
stories astonished me. "The City of Peace," alone, is enough
to make one weep. But when read as a whole, Other Cities
is not only harrowing, but exhilarating. It's a fearless exploration
into both the heart of darkness and the soul of hope. Here,
despair and joy are neither opposites nor antagonists -- but
husband and wife, brother and sister, yin and yang. In these
Cities of Humanity, you won't meet one without meeting the other.
