Description
Impermanence. Suffering. No-Self.The Three Marks characterise all existence. Change, dissatisfaction and questions of identity lie at the core of this collection. Each story, born of an obsession with a moment, nudges us toward the liminal space where literature and spirituality converge. Passarelli's fiction engages with these themes, not to mire but to free us from suffering. Nothing is eternal, but the truths touched on in these pages will endure long beyond the reading of them.
