About this book

This volume combines Paul Willems' 1990 novella, The Drowned Land, a haunting and magic transformation of the Atlantis legend, and his most recent play, La Vita Breve, which launches the reader upon a voyage into the dark night of the soul. Both novella and play explore the frontiers of dream and reality, investigating the relationship of guilt and innocence, memory and desire.
