Join an idealistic monk on a desperate mission to liberate his planet in the far-future space opera, "Events Preceding the Helvetican Renaissance." Time travel back to classic Hollywood for encounters with Orson Welles, Preston Sturges, and Marilyn Monroe. By turns funny, satirical, tragic, wry, and witty, Kessel’s stories challenge the mind and the heart.
