    About this ebook

    Dancing Over the Rays of Light is set in a retirement home and environs. It touches on the humor and pathos of the elderly, who sit, gossip, and dream while being largely ignored by their following generations. It is narrated by a wee cluster of cells that wakes up one morning with no memory of who, where, or even what he/she/it is. On finding that he is a very old man, he proceeds to discover his reason for being with the aid of a yoga instructor, a set of fellow inmates, a teenage girl detective, a sassy scrap of wood, and a nip or two of hooch.

      Ingenious: Albert Camus

      Jun 29, 2017
