    About this ebook

    Imagine that Matt Groening and Dashiell Hammett got together to write a book. What would it be like? Entertaining? Adventurous? Fun? All of those things—yes, but more. You’d have a book that would be a comic detective-mystery romp through the universe. Something like Douglas Adams but more full-bodied. There would be menacing space aliens, robots, a beautiful woman in distress, flying saucers, time travel, space-conquering fascists, pirates, and, of course, Elvis. But there would also be a classic detective story with all of the usual suspects: murder, suspicion, greed, and a good old-fashioned love triangle. Plus there would be an ending with enough twists and turns to require sports-car suspension for your mind.

    If this sounds good, this is the book for you. So, go grab your ray gun and your antigravity belt and climb into your favorite fedora. Cosmic conundrums are coming your way!

      SOMETIMES, A WRITER CAN TELL YOU exactly where a book began its journey to publication. That’s the case with Christina Dalcher’s Femlandia, a dystopian take on a women-only society. It sprang into life when she read a synopsis for Charlotte Perkins G

      ALL WRITERS HAVE THEIR PROCESS. SOME are planners; some set off without necessarily knowing where they’re going. George Saunders belongs in the latter category, but in a very particular way. He likens his approach to “procedural pointillism”, after a

      Dec 1, 2022

      It’s been 10 years since the publication of my book A Natural History of Ghosts (see FT296:42-45). I probably should have written more in it about the writer Charles Dickens. The truth is I’ve always had a special place in my heart for Dickens. I rea
