      About This Book

      The Hermetic Whore is a dark compilation of a dozen short stories, each providing a unique view into private lives of individuals and the breakdown of public order. From the near apocalyptic changes of women giving up skirts and social acceptance of sexual self-gratification to absurdity of a pair of cats being the guardians a young girl's virginity, each story provides social commentary on the ever-changing world. Spielberg provides a unique view of some of the most pressing social problems such as children divorcing their parents to an old survivor of the holocaust being ushered into death with his oblivious family standing nearby
