Sufism for Western Seekers by Stewart Bitkoff
Winner of the Spokane Prize for Short Fiction
Molly Giles's nineteen strange and tightly woven tales merge the mythic and the modern with dark humor and deep humanity. Many of the stories contain contemporary versions of ancient guides: a ghost dog seen by a young drifter in love with a much older guru; a wild goat on a cliff forever standing beside her dead ram glimpsed by a woman whose husband battles cancer; a volcano goddess with a small dog appearing to a woman whose boyfriend is flirting with her teenage daughter. The vacationland settings, Hawaii, Ireland, Baja and California among them, accentuate the characters' sense of displacement.
Professionally Dr. Bitkoff spent his career helping others through strength based psychiatric rehabilitation. A spiritual traveler, he is a longtime advocate of Sufi mysticism and the perennial philosophy. He holds a doctorate in education and served on the faculties of multiple colleges and universities. In 2008, Spirituality & Practice Magazine designated Bitkoff's A Commuter's Guide To Enlightenment, as one of the top spiritual books of the year, and his book, Sufism For Western Seekers, was nominated by Foreword Magazine for the Adult Non Fiction Religious Book of Year Award, placing fourth. Bitkoff is a frequent contributor to numerous online venues, as well. To contact the author, visit his blog where he contributes daily at http: //www.stewartbitkoff.com or email drbitkoff@yahoo.com.
