✦ Synopsis

Pain and pleasure, ecstasy and horror fuse in this splendid array of worldly parables from the pen of a master.

What if you were a double amputee, singing for joy on the streets of New York . . . or a man who has actually held the earth in his hands? What if you were both the god and goddess in one of the most exalted erotic experiences in the universe . . . or the artist Correggio in the bitterness of his most sublime work . . . or a serving maid dreaming of love and luxury in a palace of death . . . or a man on a fatal mission, treading a battlefield ruled by a dying god?

If you have the spirit and the longing to imagine, come along on a journey to the heart of passion�where love and hate are mirror images, where the alternating pulse beats of craving and denial define desire.

Only William Kotzwinkle's extraordinary talent could chart such a course, could send his vision soaring through so many forms of�fancy. In Jewel of the Moon, he transcends even his own marvelous powers of invention to create a cosmology of constant surprise�and irresistible enchantment.
