A post-modern historical novel of the ancient mysteries. How would life be in a civilization with great expertise at crafting the whole array of human spiritual experience? Dark Of Light finds such a place amid the tumult of Pagan Greece in late antiquity. And it tells a compelling story there. The pilgrimage to Eleusis - premiere religious festival of a society where religion is the greatest art - is challenged by brute force, and wins the game on its own terms.
A leading Pagan visual artist tries his hand at literature and turns in a credible performance. It is a ragged piece of work. Important segments of the plot are simply missing. Characters become confused. Historical facts are disregarded wholesale. But the reader is lured into a lively conversation with the writer and imagination weaves a web of vivid realism.
A priestess and a conqueror fall in love, set out to seek the healing of his wounds, and find happiness twenty-three centuries later. Along the way there are many scenes of dazzling beauty and some of fearful ugliness. And there is sex. Sexual intercourse is presented as the key to love and love as the key to all that is good. Here is something like an artist's sketchbook for a Kama Sutra for our wandering modern lives.
