WALKING THE LABYRINTH Lisa Goldstein A fantasy novel about a woman in San Francisco who discovers magic in her past -- and her present "One of the genre's most inventive writers...a subtle mind and a gifted imagination." -LIBRARY JOURNAL "Lisa Goldstein has an outstanding ability to paint, with deft touches, a world where magic lurks just around the corner. Unlike most of today's fantasy literature, Goldstein's work does not remind the reader of other books: it is truly original, and has a clear, distinct voice of its own"( Starlog). Her recent novels, Tourists (Orb tpb 1994, 0-312-89011-7) and Summer King, Winter Fool (Tor mm, 1995, 0-812-53503-0), have also received such praise. In Walking the Labyrinth Goldstein returns to a present-day setting and a magical realist mode. Molly Travers, a young woman living in San Francisco, discovers that she is the descendant of a family of vaudeville magicians, who in the 19th century performed real magic with a band of occultists known as the Order of the Labyrinth. As Molly investigates her past, richer and deeper magic enters her life. LISA GOLDSTEIN lives in Berkeley, California. 0-312-86175-3 Edited by David G.
