In The Verdigris Stories , the conditions of impermanence and interaction usher us into the world of the collection.
In these and the other stories, lives separate and intersect; arrivals and departures become catalysts for change..
Among the wanderers we meet a bereaved lover on her return to a village in Brazil; a pair of estranged sisters warily reuniting in Prague; and a peculiar woman hosting ghosts in her home.
In either case a sense of dislocation, either by choice or circumstance, is intrinsic to their lives as perpetual wanderers or outsiders.
For some, the past is in pursuit, nipping at their heels; for others, present possibilities hold sway.
The tone of these eleven Stories shifts from lyricism to absurdity, conjuring the characters\' changing environments and interior lives .
