Watch as the sands take shape...
A desert wind whispers of memory and regret
An army marches high in the golden skies
A traveller grows tired of seeing the end of the world
A man no longer wants to be human
A people run eternally from the rising sun
In this evocative collection of short fiction Dirk Strasser shapes eighteen stories suffused by the sands of loss, understanding and redemption.
"Dirk Strasser is a master practitioner of the short story. This complex and intelligent collection showcases his long-honed subtlety and control. Like all the brightest stories, these leave an indelible after-image in the minds' eye."
