What people are saying about The Discovery of Luminous Being:

"[In this novel] Rafe Trager learns not to dwell on or in the past but rather to BE in the 'luminous' present.  [He's caught] at a moment of crisis — the Vietnam war, young love and generational rivalry.  Will the moment be catastrophic or luminous?  That's the question Anthony Maulucci poses and explores with a great deal of sensitivity."
— Charles Ross, University of  Hartford

"Amid the beauty and liveliness of Montreal, a young American must confront his long-time anger at his successful neglectful father . . . This is brave fiction, bristling with the pain and glimpses of joy inherent in real life."
— Elisavietta Ritchie, author of ten collections of poetry and Flying Time: Stories and Half-Stories

"A highly lyrical, bittersweet, romantic story."
— Bill Brownstein, Montreal journalist

"An engrossing, well-crafted tale . . . Some very fine writing that increases with every page.  Maulucci superbly captures the charms of Montreal."
— Ken Stroebel, The Norwich Bulletin

"Dead-on descriptions of the relationship of a young man with his overbearing but highly creative father.  One can really feel the emotions."
— Richard Kamins, The Hartford Courant
