Madding Aphrodite

by John Carroll

The laws of Aphrodite are inviolable, but they are also indecipherable; that's what the many characters of this collection discover and endure - from the mythical Greek Actaeon to the sad sack Lucky whose home is above the bus depot; from the old man who carries rags up the hill to the seal who returns from an adventure beyond the big rock. And interspersed amongst these small town tales are the dialogues carried on between the abstractions that haunt all our lives and metaphors for the experience of being in Aphrodite's thrall.
