Una sorprendente historia de amor entre un escéptico profesional y una actriz de cine desencantada. La sorpresa (y las dudas...) resultan inevitables al intentar desenmascarar a una médium presunta canalizadora de espíritus del pasado que parece ser capaz de vehicular el espíritu del gran escéptico y crítico de las pseudociencias H. L. Mencken. ¿Fraude o verdad?

This is one of the best novella's that I've read and if you are anywhere near as sick as I am about all the BS disinformation we have been bombard with for the past decade, read this amazing fantasy. It's funny and wonderful and makes we want to read more about H. L. Mencken and stuff written by him, later watch the monkey trial movie. Finally have a laugh at the Creationism "Museum". ( )

A nifty trope collection, but very well executed. ( )

As usual, reading anything by Connie Willis makes me wish I'd written it. I consider that the highest compliment I can pay a writer. :) ( )

I'd liked him ever since I'd read about him chatting with somebody in his office at the Baltimore Sun and then suddenly looking out the window, saying, "The sons of bitches are gaining on us!" and frantically beginning to type. That was how I felt about twice a day, and more than once I'd muttered to myself, "Where the hell is Mencken when we need him?" ( )
