Romantic Notions and Zany Consequences

By Jay David Peterson

The author presents a carnival of surprise-ending short stories centered around various careers or undertakings, unusual situations, and involving passionate people of practically all age groups. They illustrate the impact of modern and futuristic technologies on the individual, or the life of the ancient Ojibwe. Stories touch on interpersonal relationships: first love, marriage, and old age, as well as life during a long space voyage. They span the gamut of gratifying pursuits from gardening and felling trees to intelligent alien diplomacy, from camping and archeological digs to brain augmentation and telepathy, from pursuing a Philosophy degree or joining a monastery to building a time machine. It is a frothy brew of 1 quart of human effort, 1 pint of love, 1 pint of science, 1 cup of humor, and 3 tablespoons of irony.
