Sobre IBD

Elephants tell us about ourselves. They can be merry-go-round animals or people weighted down with grief. In these stories a dreamer rides an elephant cart. A hunting party shoots elephants in a game ranch. White elephants inhabit a family home. Memory is an elephant head in a library. A land of dead immigrants is like an elephant cemetery. And an angel musician plays an elephant organ.
