Laurence Galian
“Prose is subject to the polemic. The academicians can endlessly debate, defend, advance and argue over little facts. However, a tale is not so subject to debate. A story simply is. It conveys experience.”
Laurence Galian, The Sun at Midnight: The Revealed Mysteries of the Ahlul Bayt Sufis
