World Fantasy 1976 Searching exploration into the ideal of romantic love, true love as unattainable. How it feels when your spirit has a head-on collision with reality. This sets up a deep look into the struggle between reason and feeling. And a vivid depiction of the consequences when this balance tilts. The culture of 1896 in ways adopts this view and and counterbalances the rootless spirit of our modern age.
