All About Earthlings

Aldous Huxley wrote: "If most of us remain ignorant of ourselves, it is because self-knowledge is painful and we prefer the pleasures of illusion." One might infer from this remark that seeing ourselves as others see us-and acknowledging our very obvious imperfections-is the beginning of true wisdom. Oscillating between parody, parable, and prophecy, ALL ABOUT EARTHLINGS is a work of hyper-realism.
