Meet a mysterious author and his entourage of shifting realities, eccentric aliens, and batty earthlings, both animal and human. Halycon Sage: world-famous and possibly Native American founder of the Post-Modernist Minimalist Pseudo-Realist Neo-Symbolist School of Literature. Sage's novels and their imitators are measured, not in pages, but in sentences. Four mini-novels are included here, and some fictional characters have taken this opportunity to vent, including a literary critic, an Iraqi-American child, a supervillain, and Sage's side-kick, a very smart horse.

You'll also encounter:

• A Cat-Attorney's thoughts on the subject of dogagories, the Green World and the World

of Light, and Five Tips for Intergalactic Diplomacy

• The real-life adventures of a confused writer stumbling around an airport and the Black

Foam Ball of Ultimate Significance (definitely not a microphone cover!)

• The sparkly-blue, telepathic Squidren and the microscopically invisible but still red-and-

silver Nanobots.

Karima Vargas Bushnell (MA, Intercultural Relations) is a character made up by Halycon Sage and introduced in The Book of Squidly Light. Or-wait, this is confusing-Is Sage a character made up by Karima in The Last Book Ever Published: The Life and Times of Halycon Sage? These books flow from Karima's patchwork quilt of religious and cultural identities, the people she has known, and some experiences with non-ordinary reality.
