Wie alles andere in meinem Leben war auch der Abstieg in die Hölle nicht so einfach. Als ich durch das Portal sprang, erwartete ich, die Sünden auf der anderen Seite zu treffen. Ich erwartete, von meinen Leuten, den Dämonen, empfangen zu werden.Was ich vorfand, waren Flammen, Feuer und Asche.Die Apokalypse hatte nicht auf mich gewartet. Sie hatte bereits begonnen.Die Grenzen der Hölle stürzten in sich zusammen und machten meine Aufgabe, die Sünden zu finden, unendlich viel schwieriger. Als ich mich gemeinsam mit den Reitern auf die Suche nach ihnen machte, stellten wir fest, dass nicht alles so war, wie es schien.Eine weißhaarige Mörderin hatte mir einst geraten, mich vor dem Bösen zu hüten, das sich im Offensichtlichen versteckt.Ich hätte auf sie hören sollen.Der Kampf um die Hölle hatte begonnen und die Aufgabe, sie zu retten, lag allein bei mir. Aber um zu gewinnen - und zu überleben -, musste ich die Geheimnisse der Vergangenheit lüften, um die Zukunft sehen zu können.Ich schwor mir, zu nehmen, was mir gehörte, auch wenn ich dafür bluten sollte.

"The Speech of Flowers and Voiceless Things" is a novel of absurdist political satire. In this work of literary fiction, a mistranslation in a single line of poetry instigates an escalating ripple of misconstrued text that threatens to culminate in a world war over five-pronged forks.We follow the present lives and flashbacks of an ensemble cast of translators who comprise a secret philanthropic organization (the Association of Translation Liaisons of the Altruistic States) in the Sahara Desert. These precocious orphans, culled from every corner of the Earth, struggle with the inviolable dictates against artistic creation imposed by the monomaniacal philanthropist who is their founder. Illicit acts of art inevitably devolve into mistranslations, and this string of mistranslations in the village of ATLAS implicates the second locale of the narrative, Hacylon, which is ruled by a cartoonish, tyrannical dictator.Amelia Carlisle, the copiously intelligent, firm-handed Secretary General of IBIS (International Bureau of Independent States), establishes the secret village of ATLAS in hopes of a more meaningful globalized network. Astor, orphaned at the age of seven after a factory fire in Egypt, is ATLAS's first recruit; he is eighteen years old when the novel begins and is beset by a deeply ingrained savior complex and a rampant perfectionism. Natalia, once an amanuensis for a reclusive theoretical physicist in Poland, resents the ATLASian restrictions on her knowledge and ceaselessly plots her escape. Clarence, a world-renowned journalist who is second-in-command, is burdened by the guilt of his secret betrayal of ATLAS several years prior and its ramifications for ATLAS's impending dissolution. Ezdehar, the hired counselor, is a haunted playwright who has been brought to ATLAS after a traumatic mental breakdown in Tanzania; she contends with her compulsion to flee and write her masterpiece.

Every morning, a fearful monster called apep lurked beneath the place of sunrise, ready to swallow up the solar disk. This "Great Devil" was impossible to destroy, even for the Sun-god. However, by reciting morning after morning the powerful spell that Thoth provided him with, he could paralyze all of Apep's limbs and rise upon this World. Since the "great gods," though benevolently inclined towards the dead, are unable to protect them from demons that lived upon "bodies, souls, spirits, shadows, and hearts of the dead," the Egyptians decided to invoke Thoth's assistance on behalf of their dead and to place them under the protection of his spells. Many funerary texts were composed by Egyptian theologians under the fourth dynasty (about 3700 B.C.) and were probably well known under the first dynasty and throughout the whole Period of dynastic history; Thoth was thought to be the author of the "Book of the Dead."

She and her imaginary friends have lots of adventures, much to the dismay of the grown-ups in her life. These fanciful journeys often get her into trouble. Like most things in Janie's life, she doesn't intend for them to happen, they just happen. But in the real world, a violent event unknowingly leads to an encounter with a very dangerous person, one whose intensions for the girl are anything but imaginary. When the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus comes to town, Janie's fantasies and reality collide, and it may be too late to tell them apart.Set against the backdrop of small town America in the midst of WWII and events leading up to the Hartford circus fire, Janie's story is as much one of a fight for her sanity as it is for her life. Told with humor and insight, the story weaves themes of friendship, family bonds, and how being different can be one's greatest strength.
