Miracles, strippers, belly
dancers ... ghosts and doppelgängers ... high seas adventures and
sordid romance ... true crime and travel in time ... just a few of the
entries in
Rotary Sushi.
about
the stories
"Hillel Wright's 'A Borges Trilogy' is a sophisticated homage to the
Argentine genius." Tom Sandborn,

"One memorable story is 'Early Retirement,' in many ways a metaphor for
personal responsibility." Jim Bennett,
New Hope International Review On-Line
(UK)

comment
Each of us lives a different and unique life. The popular writer in
some way succeeds in transcending his or her self to appeal to a wide
audience. The good reader will find something of the writer that
broadens and deepens the reader's understanding of self. Hillel
Wright's stories may or may not be classed as fiction, but they have
the odor of the sweat of reality. The one thing this book is not, it is
not a book about sushi.
