AN ATMOSPHERE OF ETERNITY is a collection of short stories set in India, dealing with the unpredictable effects of contact between those who live there and visiting westerners. The stories give us a rare opportunity to see life through the eyes of Indians and Americans living, working, loving, and dying in a country steeped in the spiritual—in an atmosphere of eternity.
“…perfect stories, written with great purity and a wonderful economy of language. Words cannot express my reactions.” —Raja Rao, author of The Serpent and the Rope
There you go. The old, old friend, by the way, is Brooke Iglehart, who I have known since I was about eighteen months old. We attended preschool, kindergarten, elementary, junior high, high school, and a year of college together. (She spent her other years up in some girls’ school in Massachusetts — “Wellesley,” or something.)
So, anyway. Book release. If you ever wanted to see one.
