The Art of Andalucia: & other stories from warm places

By David Pallavicini

Short Fiction: A few minutes escape from the reality of your daily grind ... or maybe a little Lit for lunch. This is a selected short story collection from the works of David Pallavicini. The stories bounce back and forth between fiction and not-so fiction in various places around the world, from a street caf in Rio, to a juke joint in Mississippi, a dinner table in San Francisco in the 60's, and even the coroner's office in Los Angeles - any place where sunshine can be found nearby. The book begins with "The Art of Andalucia;" the story of an artist who becomes lost in a clash of cultures, obsession, love and violence, and at the same time being smothered in the beauty and passion of Southern Spain. The collection also includes the controversial and gut wrenching, "Mary's Journey," which is based on the still current reality in Western Sudan, and where a driven young girl is determined to prevail in spite of the odds. In this collection one can find beauty, love, romance, mystery, terror, violence, humor, and even the taste of good cooking.
