Light Reflection Over Blues

 

And doesn't this image just about say it all…

 

That's the cover art for my dear friend Avital Gad-Cykman's latest collection of short fiction, illustrated by Revital Lessick and available now, hot off Ravenna Press.

You should buy it.

Avital is a master of words and my favorite living writer. How she does what she does with so few simple words is one of life's mysteries, but all the complex magic of human existence is right there on her page.

I'm reminded of why I've so loved the writing of Norman Maclean and a very select handful of other old, now dead white men. Except Avital's a multicultural, multilingual woman with a modern world full of experience, writing for the 21^st Century.

And that makes all the difference, today.

 

Writing's a tough, often thankless business. No less so, publishing. The transference of ideas from one brain to another has never been made easier or more fluid. That we keep this creative exchange of ideas free flowing is perhaps of greater importance now than ever, too.

 

Did I mention you should buy my friend Avital Gad-Cykman's new book? On Amazon if you must. Better for all concerned at Ravenna.

Either way, you'll be doing your part to help keep the finest fine art alive.
