The Tragedy of Tristan and Isolde

A story within a story, encased cleverly in a wildly entertaining tale that will even entertain teenagers, is hidden this masterpiece of critical thinking. This author’s uncanny ability to cut across the spectrum of time, draws us into more of an Odessey than a novel. And for those of us who loved the powerful, symbolic childhood images and patterns (and the totally unexpected ending), that made his first book so poignant and riveting, this second offering will not disappoint. In fact, “Tristan and Isolde” takes the author’s insights and eye-opening conclusions much deeper, while at the same time, allowing the reader to soar squarely into the transcendent. Cutting through centuries of philosophical and doctrinal renderings, we find startling clarity on perplexing issues which the great thinkers of our time beat their fists against walls to explain. A master story teller, Malfitano keeps us spellbound from beginning to end. With his usual unsettling ease, the author unravels the twists, the turns, the roots and the wings of this Odyssean offering at the very end, leaving us reeling – and breathless. Don’t skip a line! Why miss the adventure?
