IMAGINING MORE and Other Stories
by Panayotis Cacoyannis
Kindle $0.99 Rating: 4.8 #ad
“a hauntingly beautiful exploration of the human psyche” Kathryn Dare – Manhattan Book Review
Melancholy, bitingly satirical, occasionally tragic and frequently romantic, IMAGINING MORE and Other Stories brings together a kaleidoscope of flawed, searching characters, among them actors, writers, troubled artists, striving to make sense of themselves, their relationships, and their place in the world.
The fifteen stories’ protagonists are confronted with impossible dilemmas, or are forced to ask unanswerable questions: Is love the meaning of life? Is sex the meaning of love? What does it mean to be dead? Is “the truth” more important than happiness? Is there ever a single, “objective” view of reality?
