"Most of Stollman's stories address the simultaneous gift and burden of prodigious talent - the euphoria of creation and discovery, balanced by the weight of responsibility and the distractions of success. In "Enfleurage," we meet a cantor haunted by regret; in "The Little Poet," an eleven-year-old aspiring bard whose literary gifts and aspirations outweigh his compassion.
In the title story, "The Dialogues of Time and Entropy," a medical researcher's possible discovery of a cure for a rare and fatal disease threatens to destroy his life as his marriage deteriorates and his ambivalence toward his autistic daughter increases.".
"These are stories infused with a deep sense of humanity and an impressive range of knowledge - of science, music, religion, and language itself. In them, Stollman examines our weaknesses while always evoking a sense of awe, and delight in the face of seemingly limitless human potential. As in his novels, he blends the everyday with the mystical, the mundane with the extraordinary, and the waking world with the world of dreams."--BOOK JACKET.
