The Hot Climate of Promises and Grace

64 Stories. With these short stories, deeply indebted to Sufi Tales and Jataka stories (as well as to the Brothers Grimm and American folktales), Steven Nightingale offers testimonies of revelation, mischief, miracles, and grace given him by 64 remarkable women who've appeared in his life over time. These delightful pieces combine humour and sensuality with surrealism and an oblique spirituality, and each becomes an opportunity of gentle instruction, invention, and entertainment.
