Reseña del libro "An End of Speaking: Stories of the Bible (en Inglés)"
An End of Speaking offers readers 9 short stories all connected by their biblical origins. The first five stories are drawn from the Hebrew Bible (or the Old Testament as it is sometimes known) and the last four are inspired by the characters and historical flow of the New Testament. Jesus comes on the scene. The first five stories focus on God as Yahweh, the wily rascally trickster God of dust and dirt that we see in the Hebrew Bible.

In "Acts on an Old Saw" the book waves at itself, living forwards and understanding backwards, in the form of a play that takes place in the 3rd heaven, which also might be a clever way to say it takes place in the mind of the Son of the Ancient of Days. An End of Speaking leaves us on the island of Patmos with John of the Apocalypse. John is alone, heat struck, and losing grip with what is and what was and what is to come. Are not we all?
