Christine Sneed
Christine Sneed is the author of three novels and three story collections, most recently, Direct Sunlight: Stories. She’s also the editor of the short fiction anthology Love in the Time of Time’s Up, and her work has been included in publications such as The Best American Short Stories, O. Henry Prize Stories, New Stories from the Midwest, New England Review, The Southern Review, Ploughshares, Glimmer Train, and the New York Times. She lives in Pasadena, CA and teaches for Northwestern University and Stanford Continuing Studies.
Twilight of the Gods is Kurt Baumeister’s second novel and is alternately a comedy, an action caper, a highly prescient political allegory, and an examination of the beleaguered human condition through a speculative lens. As is probably apparent, there’s a lot going on here, and in the last third of the book in particular, I especially found myself wondering if the author had somehow tapped into the future, as Nostradamus purportedly did through his use of a brass tripod and a bowl of water.
