This collection of fifteen short-prose pieces puts John O'Loughlin's ideological philosophy of Social Transcendentalism through a literary prism, as we explore a variety of interrelated themes from a loosely fictional standpoint. In fact politics, whether associated with a correlative mode of sexuality or not, also figures quite prominently here, though usually in connection with Social Transcendentalism which, being politico-religious, is both political and more than political. Those especially interested in philosophy will find the last three titles in this collection particularly intriguing, since they were conceived in a loosely aphoristic vein, the final one being a kind of oblique tribute to Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra.
