At last! A complete collection of Howard Fast's "Zen stories" -- a unique blend of fantasy, science fiction, philosophy, and humor. Written over a period of twenty years and including Fast's latest work, never before published, these stories combine the comic with the cosmic, the playful with the profound. As a whole, they are marked by paradox and poetry, irony and suspense, mystery and hope. To their world-famous, best-selling author, they are, moreover, "the most important writing I have done."

Like the scientists in a few of these stories, Fast bends time and ties knots in space to give us another view of reality. He takes the ethics and habits of mankind out of their comfortably familiar context and examines them from another dimension.

So skillfully does he weave the fantastic with the commonplace, that we do not bother to question the existence of giant ants, half-inch men, time warps, telepathic children, lakes of blood, or the devil himself at the doorstep. Instead, our wonder is directed toward the paradoxes inherent in human existence. And from this literary magic, comes a sudden vision, a flash of understanding, in a laugh, a shudder, or simply a smile. We have been taken a step beyond time to come a step closer to the riddle.
