About This Book

In this collection of twenty-seven short and long stories (some very brief, one a novella), Robert Kelly once again conjures—as previously in A Transparent Tree—an array of imaginary realms that touch upon our own. These are fictions that proceed from language into psychological epiphanies, sometimes of a very humourous nature, traversing the divisions between external and internal experience, and capturing the dimensions of desire. With its great subtlety and generous wisdom, Doctor of Silence is a bravura performance by one of America's major writers.
