Two novellas written during the "3-Day Novel Contest" "The World's
Most Notorious Literary Marathon" After Fernando is a fictional
dream about the life of Ophelia Queiroz after the death of
Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa. When a young stranger appears at
her house in Lisbon, Ophelia takes him on a journey of the "perfect
day" she has been assembling in her memory room with the poems and
letters of the four poetic heteronyms of Fernando Pessoa. Crowd
Theory is a twitter novella whose avatars post 140-character
microblogs. Pitting individualist I_Scrivener against social
psychiatrist Dr. Krishna Dhere, author of Crowd Theory, the Bible
of The Collective, a dangerous intellectual game begins. The two
stage a debate for very high stakes - suicide: the surrender of
Scrivener's identity to merge with The Collective. Between them,
these novellas chart the territory between saudade - the portentous
Portuguese longing for the past, and Futurism - the fervent Italian
artistic movement that celebrated speed, a break with the past, and
presaged Fascism.
