The Invisible Fence

This collection of deceptively simple stories by renowned Rumi translator and Sufi Nevit Ergin has the ability to remove reader's complacent sense of self and identity and to expand their ordinary awareness of reality in every possible direction. In these stories the primrose path we travel suddenly turns into a trickster's hall of mirrors where we learn that we are not children of Adam and Eve so much as children of our perceptions.
