Description

Etel Adnan's Master of the Eclipse is a collection of stories that explore displacement, love, loss, poetry, and war. Set against the backdrop of various cities around the world, these tales bring to life a diverse cast of characters, each with their own unique experiences and perspectives. Through her characteristic blend of philosophical insight, painterly vision, and literary skill, Adnan crafts a world that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. From the title story's meditation on history and power, to the concluding tale's quiet vision of a tree floating in a stream, this collection showcases Adnan's mastery of language, variety, and color. A woman trained in philosophy at some of the world's most prestigious institutions, Adnan brings her unique voice to these stories, one that is both rooted in her experiences as a Lebanese-American poet and painter, and open to the possibilities of the human condition.
