These mysterious, interrelated stories create a portrait of the
author s life, both real and imagined, as he appears in each tale
variously as hero, bystander, artist, and ghost, yielding an
enchanting autobiography of the imagination. Fantasy and reality
collide as the book s principal characters two lovers meet, part,
and reunite, time and again, at different stages in life and in
landscapes both familiar and exotic. Death appears as a genial
waiter in a cafe across from the Metropolitan Museum of Art;
talking circus elephants console a ringmaster for his unrequited
love; a young boy barters with pirates for his grandmother s soul;
and as a refrigerator begins spilling mini-glaciers into a couple s
East Village apartment, a voyage to Antarctica commences on an icy
schooner waiting for them in Tompkins Square Park. Love, and its
mystery, is at the core of these self portraits, but love also for
art, for adventure, and for the passion of being alive."
