History of the World in Ten and a Half Chapters

Book • 2022
A History of the World in 10½ Chapters tells a series of apparently unconnected stories, ranging from a woodworm's-eye view of Noah's Ark to an astronaut's quest for its final resting place.

These stories are linked by a complex weave of inquiry into history itself, love, myth, and fabulation, told with brilliant imagination, intelligence, and humor.
