A Slew of Unfortunates

An atheistic writer may or may not have faked spiritual conversion while dying in the shower. A catatonic Don Juan finds the meaning of life. A pair of "philosophy detectives" try to uncover the conspiracy behind an academic's suicide. An exploration of the Voynich Manuscript leads to a dangerous experiment in artificial intelligence. All this and the most efficient ways to kill ants. Joseph E. Green's short fiction is funny, thought-provoking, and not to be trusted. "Reading Green is a treat for independent thinkers who may have forgotten for a spell that it really is the rest of the world that's crazy." -Greg Harman, Ed., San Antonio Current
