Sinopsis

"Stoles" is a compelling anthology that weaves together diverse narratives exploring the intersections of identity, faith, and cultural expression. Each contribution reflects a unique voice, showcasing a range of literary styles from poignant prose to evocative poetry, all united by the thematic thread of stoles as symbols of ritual, status, and personal journey. The book's structure facilitates a dynamic conversation within contemporary literature, drawing connections between religious traditions and modern existential inquiries, ultimately inviting readers to reflect on the meaning of belonging and the complexity of human experience. The compilation features various authors, whose backgrounds encompass a rich tapestry of experiences that inform their work. Influenced by their diverse religious and cultural contexts, as well as their personal encounters with faith, these writers have crafted pieces that resonate with authenticity and vulnerability. Their collective exploration acts as both a dialogue and a reflection on how traditional symbols can carry profound significance and what they reveal about individual and communal identities. "Stoles" is highly recommended for readers intrigued by thematic literature that delves into the multifaceted nature of identity and spirituality. Scholars, students, and casual readers alike will find that this anthology not only broadens their understanding of cultural narratives but also invites introspection and empathy in a world where faith and identity continue to evolve.

    A never-before-published early novel and stories by the legendary musician, songwriter, and poet Leonard Cohen 
     
     
     
    The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohen's imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence. The titular novel, A Ballet of Lepers—one he later remarked was "probably a better novel" than his celebrated book The Favourite Game—is a haunting examination of these elements in tandem, focusing on toxic relationships and the lengths to which one will go to maintain them, while the fifteen stories, as well as the playscript, probe the inner demons of his characters, many of whom could function as stand-ins for the author himself. Cohen's work is meditative and surprising, offering playful, provocative, and penetrating glimpses into the world-weary lives of his characters, and a window into the early art of a storytelling master. 
     
     
     
    A Ballet of Lepers, vivid in its detail, unsparing in its gaze, reveals the great artist and visceral genius as never seen before.
