Writer Carole Maso discusses her war-inflected novel-in-progress, a meditation, she writes, “on the profound mystery of suffering, the enigma of history, the power of invention, the properties of fever and light, and the beauty and resilience of the human psyche.” The Bay of Angels spans millennia and utilizes a variety of narrative strategies in an attempt to approach the unfathomable, monstrous, uncanny, fugitive, haunted, and sublime.
