GOD LOVE SEX DEATH -- what did we leave out here? Perhaps, just a few words to introduce each story: "Tracy and the Ever Encroaching Darkness" gives a look at the prospect of romantic relationship when played against the clock. "Fiery Serpent" presents dreams of the non-material world. "Indian Buckeye" is a story of being included by a powerful social set, inadvertently excluded, and then consciously and conscientiously letting go, accepting one's limitations, and finding one's own way. Unforgettable "The Last Night on the Ghan" reminds us how ephemeral and fleeting our time with others, and our time on this planet is. "The Pick-a-Rib Cafe" is another powerful story of inclusion and exclusion, in a coming-of-age setting. An eccentric man's interaction with a goddess for life-and-death stakes: the story of "The Last China Aster." "The Priests Of Jinggangshan" is a powerful story about what we spend most of our time trying to get: money. "Talk Radio" is the date-from-hell. "Hey Jude" recounts a traveler's unlikely interactions with celebrity, and raises issues of guile, and naivete. "The Kingdom of Staunch" was written when the author was 17; for which he received a suggestion that it should be published, to his astonishment. Yet, this prescient gesture of confidence planted a seed. The story itself is loosely based on a yet future event described in Revelation. Similarly apocalyptic in nature, "The Black Bat and The White Penguin" is a strange parable written by a flying rodent about a promise God made to us all long ago.
