The Oz Suite — Gerard Houarner

Oz - One of the most famous literary images to cross over into the dark streets of the real world . . . Oz - The symbol for all things other. Over the rainbow. At the far end of the yellow brick road. In the shadowy parts of the brain. Where the witches and the wizards and the flying monkeys are . . . Oz - something that transcends childhood, adulthood, here, there, inside, outside, the mind, reality . . . Oz - the soil and fertilizer that Gerard Houarner uses to grow three substantial stories. Three amazing studies of how the mind, the imaginary and the real interact. And how they can blur and become fused.
