A Chimera in Stockholm

By Zeon Porter

Stockholm, December 1948. Mysterious notes appear all down the streets. A being who claims to be an alien promises to reveal a new meaning of the Planck units. In the Blue Hall of City Hall, Einstein, Bohr, Oppenheimer, Jung, and other leading physicists, chemists, and mathematicians confront an enigmatic entity with an implacable rhetoric. Beneath the surface of the debate, misunderstandings emerge, along with buried resentments, Machiavellian strategies sketched in chalk on the blackboard, paradoxes that hold water, and refined lies that lead to the same conclusions as the truth. A phlegmatic journalist observes the scene, torn between dissertations on universal constants and the legs of a female speaker, a witness to how even the greatest scientists can transfigure into masks of themselves. A blend of quantum physics and surrealism, The Stockholm Chimera is a novel that packs a punch, fusing and confusing Borges with Pynchon, where the boundary between truth and fiction dissolves like a French kiss in the Swedish night.
