<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>ONE OF TEN LONGLISTED IN THE 2021` SHELF UNBOUND BEST INDIE BOOK COMPETITION A naked boy wanders alone through a divided land carrying rocks, and seeks refuge in a cave below a hidden monastery in the mountains. A middle-aged man returns to the home of his youth in Lebanon, to a cave where he confronts a thief with a camera and protects a sacred, centuries-old piece of art. Months later, carrying the treasured face in his briefcase, the photographer faces the utter loss of all he has hoped for. Three stories. Three men. One image: a timeless work of art. The Image is a profound and compelling collection of linked short stories about faith, hope, belonging, and the search for meaning within a holy land.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"When you begin reflecting on the themes of the book--the way Faulkner has lined up his artistic effects, the depiction of the course of events over the centuries of the narrative--a much larger picture emerges, dare I say an iconic one." --<i>Catholic World Report</i><br><br>"You'll sense, by the end [of <i>The Image</i>], that even in our age of mechanical reproduction there is more than matter mixed in with the mortar -- and more than happenstance in these disparate lives arranged in a strange and mysterious union." --<i>National Catholic Register</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Steven Faulkner</b> grew up in what is now South Sudan and in Ethiopia in Africa, and later in Kansas.
