Brilliant scholar and wordsmith David Bentley Hart turns his mind
and imagination to narrative fiction in this volume, The Devil and
Pierre Gernet, a thought-provoking collection of four short stories
and one novella. 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.-
These 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. Often 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.
