The Desolate

Fiction

“There is no greater compliment one can give a work of fiction than to say that its author has created a world one would like to visit. DeLay has done something more than that. In depicting an individual character’s search for meaning in the face of a world that often appears cruel and chaotic, he has taken up Camus’s challenge to present philosophy in images and expanded upon it, showing us our world with all of its absurdity and grace.”
