Collier fiction

The stoneworkers remain oblivious to the winds of change in the outside world--until a storyteller returns with a strange, angry woman whose death foretells the coming of metal and the end of stone.

While investigating his mentor's life and death, Michael, a voyeuristic fashion photographer, travels through a Dionysian landscape where sex is daydream, women and horses share the same erotic power, and perversity is the rule. In his search, Michael uses photographs and paintings to visualize the past and thereby expose a family's decadent legacy of sex, lies, and betrayal.
