Once again, Martín Prechtel is up to his old tricks… “Making medicine out of poison.” Taking grief, pain, strife and other elements of a society in distress and concocting a potion that actually heals those who have ears to listen. The Smell of Rain on Dust does exactly that. In a world that needs to grieve its wrongdoings but has lost its ability or forgotten its ancient wisdom, Mr. Prechtel has been selected as a spokesman to reunite modern man with ancient wisdom. Not an enviable position!
