The Desert Stones Russell Rutland McGuire Jr

"The Desert Stones" asks who am I? What is real? What lasts? It unveils the struggle for identity in real-time, including the internal strife between convention and originality-- often as though there are two, sometimes three, voices within the mind of the writer competing for primacy. The Wall, The Drama, The Stones, the Thief, and ultimately the Desert Stones, all are archetypes within this landscape where the soul searches for truth and belief. In the end, the narrator experiences an apotheosis of being in this starkly imagined world.
