<p>In <i>59 Glass Bridges</i>, an unnamed narrator travels through a maze that is at once mutable and immutable: walls fall to vine-filled forests, hallways to rivers, bridges to lamp-lit boats. What remains is the desire to escape. He is led along his harrowing path by Willow, a mysterious figure who cajoles him and responds to questions in a winking sphinx-like manner, with answers that are often more baffling than clear. Interspersed are the memories of the narrator, of his childhood and adolescence, and of his grandmother, a wise artist who at once pushes his creativity, while leaving him the freedom to craft his own journey.</p><p>&#160;Playing with the imagery and landscapes reminiscent of Dante Alighieri&#8217;s <i>Divine Comedy</i>, Steven Peters&#8217; debut reveals how pivotal moments in our lives give substance and shape to the labyrinths in our minds.</p>&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;&#10;<p>In <i>59 Glass Bridges</i>, an unnamed&#10;narrator travels through a maze that is at once mutable and immutable: walls&#10;fall to vine-filled forests, hallways to rivers, bridges to lamp-lit boats.&#10;What remains is the desire to escape.
