Anticipating questions about his shift in genre, Hart writes that God is no more likely (and probably a good deal less likely) to be found in theology than in poetry and fiction. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese stories -- The Devil and Pierre Gernet, The House of Apollo, A Voice from the Emerald World, The Ivory Gate, and The Other -- beguile and entrance the reader through Hart's engrossing, opulent writing style and the complex characters he evokes and explores. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOften bedazzling, sometimes heartbreaking, and ultimately mesmerizing, Hart's wide-ranging stories are united by a common thread of haunting religious and philosophical questions about this life and the next. Here is fiction to fully engage both the mind and the heart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
