"I mean, so what? Order, chaos, order, chaos. We have a real problem here!"exclaims one character in Only a Lower Paradise, the comic, profound, and likely blasphemous title story of Michael Bryson's new collection of heartache, emotional crisis, and the fickle quest for meaning in our post-post-modern world.
Featuring cameo appearances by Lucifer, Jesus Christ, Richard Nixon, and a surly hippie named Ringo, the title story echos the early work of Kurt Vonnegut Jr. and Thomas Pynchon. The story also acts as a prelude to the other nine stories in the collection--trickster tales that articulate the fine shadings between tragedy and comedy, darkness and hope, despair and redemption.
