The Man Who Walked On Air & Other Tales Of Innocence

A major collection of short fiction by a master of literary mischief. These fifteen tales are erotic, poetic, and, often, hilarious. "The title story of Arias-Misson's THE MAN WHO WALKED ON AIR is emblematic of the fiction collection. Ruminative, cultivated, formally venturesome, smoothly (but not slickly) written, and erotic-a nuanced eroticism that takes deliciously improbable turns. A daring collection in its way, yet always engaging." --Harold Jaffe "Augustus, Alain Arias-Misson's alter ego in the book, levitates when he has an erection. Arias-Misson levitates when he writes. Take the hand he offers you. He will lead you above the coarseness and banality of much of contemporary writing to a delightfully innocent world of erotic fantasies." --Yuriy Tarnawsky
