Beauty & Truth, short story.... help
I don't know if I'm in the right place (either newsgroup)
but I hope someone knows what I'm looking for. Actually, this is for someone else, but I loved the concept so much that I want to find the story myself, and read it. Here's the question my friend posed: On a whim I am looking for this book which I read an exerpt from a couple of years ago. It's a collection of short stories. I don't know the title or the author. The story I read was about a man who goes looking for Truth because truth is supposed to be beauty and when he gets to the end of his long journey he finds this ugly old hag tending her fire. She is Truth and she tells him to tell everyone that she is young and beautiful. If anyone has a clue the name of the short story, the author, or the book of short stories it was in, I'd love it. Thanks, -Allison Someday I hope to have time to hang out in book newsgroups on a regular basis again.... |
