Parabola: Shorter Fictions

5/5 ( ratings)

A volume of fiction built upon parables, satires, paradoxes and mystic teaching tales. "The Sufis and their predecessors have used the parable and the 'teaching tale' extensively as one of their modes of contemplation. This is similar to the way Zen has employed parables and paradoxes -- in trying to impart insight that is different from that produced by normal intellect.
