Prophet and Loss: They Only see in Shapes and Promises. (Paperback) by Burt Shepp

The mystery of life is front and center in the wildly inventive new novel, Prophet and Loss, by Burt Shepp. A mysterious stranger offers an ordinary man on the street a gift. The man, Herbert (Loss) Lossinsky, thinks the stranger and gift are a joke, but accepts, and soon learns he's been given a new Vision of Reality. His bumpy road from midlife crisis to an epiphany is captivating as the story wraps the stranger's odd gift into a tale that is filled with humor, hope, and promises of what can be achieved. It begins in New York, travels to Philadelphia, and ends with a sudden, life altering leap of understanding in Paris, France. Although it is written to entertain, there are interesting thoughts, opinions, judgments and beliefs for readers to ponder and accept, reject, laugh at, ridicule, or seriously consider. Beautifully written, funny, and shimmering with hope, Prophet and Loss is for anyone who's ever wondered if there was more to life than meets the 'I'.
