Separation Tango Allen Berry

Separation Tango is a book of hymns and meditations, the embarrassment of being human, and ultimately, hope. Herein you will find darkly humorous tomes on the foibles and pitfalls of relationships, the audacity of the natural world and man's "understanding" of it, and the stubborn resilience of the human heart to continue in the face of hopelessness.




Separation Tango explores the themes of love, loneliness, and heartbreak. A man sitting in a cafe decides to take his fate into his own hands, radio DJs speak to individual listeners, while the fortunes of fools and nations are decided by seemingly random events. In this collection, the readers will find themselves lost in a cotillion of myth, nature, fear, language, and loss.
