Coming to terms with the sudden loss of billions of humans in a single event has so long been an underlying theme of stories that the genre has its own name -- the post-apocaplyptic novel. Many deal with the practical dramas and demands of such an event, and many with the sociological ones implicit in rebuilding human society from what scraps remain. Few books, though, have ever used this genre to question our very notion of ’human society’, of what is right and wrong, of the nature and purpose of human morality itself and of how humans must re-think their society’s attitudes, goals, structures, and behaviors.A Galaxy of No-Stars does.Spanning some 30 years from a devastating plague that decimates humanity, its story follows the lives of widely diverse survivors, many of whom coalesce into differing social structures -- some based on pre-existing paradigms and some on entirely new thinking. 3

    Jay Edson
    This is an autobiography of sorts. My primary agenda, though, is not to give the reader a coherent account of my life. Rather I use my recollections of an odd assortment of intense experiences as jumping off points for some philosophical and religious reflections. The experiences are always as much about someone else as they are about me - hence the emphasis on I/Thou. It shou...

  • What Can I Say About Light?
    Jay Edson
    This book is about what most poetry books are about. Death, Life, Birth, the Sun, Flowers, Love - that kind of thing. It even has a few butterflies in it. Originally I thought about including a very nice poem I had about a noble Indian looking out toward the horizon with a tear in his eye. But I decided to leave that one out. Also I had a really poignant poem about a lighthouse...
