In space, man’s search for meaning
AMES GRAY’S STRANGE, HYPNOTIC space adventure is set in the near future, when humanity has decided to look to the stars for intelligent life, evidently finding the cupboards bare at home. To reveal whether or not that life is found would give away too much, and it would be missing the point, anyway: this story is as much about the alien life inside us as it is about space exploration. Sometimes our feelings can be like foreign invaders, unwelcome in the narrative we’re trying to write for ourselves.
