Punctuated Equilibrium / the Proepistrephomeniad Bernard Saftner

Forty-four years in the making, Punctuated Equilibrium / The Proepistrephomeniad showcases twenty works from the author's philosophical, imaginative and whimsical oeuvre. This larger-than-life collection includes one novel, two novellas, six stories and eleven poems in one convenient, affordable two-volumes-in-one volume.

Highlights:

* The Proepistrephomeniad. In this sweeping metaphysical epic, Sir Chrysogonus Exiordines must overcome the natural and supernatural forces arrayed against him in a perilous faraway land. The cost of failure is complete apocalyptic annihilation!

* "The Louisiana Book of the Dead." A beautiful young woman hiding a terrible secret finds herself in the sights of a psychotic killer.

* "Homeward, Warrior." A Viking finds glory and love on a metaphysical quest for his homeland.

Self-conscious literary stylings, interwoven genres and intellectual puzzles abound in these and the author's other instant classics--masterworks such as "The Arrowhead," "The Magic Calf," "Coal for Christmas," "Attis," "Aftermath," and "Man ... or Machine?" The author's beloved poems in praise of Paris Hilton are included to make the collection complete.
