More DescriptionA collection of magical short stories told in prose and poetry.In Montr#65533;al an heir to a fortune is on the run and hiding from his billion dollars. In Prague an artist of microscopic miniatures has his life's work vacuumed up by mistake. A woman in Berkley California is convinced that her entire family has been abducted and replaced by imposters, and Jehovah, God almighty, working as a junior librarian in Toronto, is engaged in a life or death battle with His creator. These are just a few of the characters and situations inhabiting the hilarious, fantastic, and yet strangely familiar, world of these short stories and poems-each linked to all others by innumerable strands, like themes and motifs in a symphony. Together, they create a sweeping tapestry of that incomprehensible, precarious, and exhilarating thing we call the dance of life.
