“Steve has a really crazy sense of humour in the great tradition of the Goon Show and Monty Python. Thank him for me, please, for a witty, inventive, surreal and subversive collection.”
— Gillian Bennett, author of “Alas, Poor Ghost!”: Traditions of Belief in Story and Discourse
“If I had to use one word to describe this book, it would be ‘quirky.’ Schwegler has sought to use the world around us and give it a slant. With appearances by intelligent squirrels, talking food, and even Jesus, the range of story subjects will make you look at reality in a new way.”
— Kimberly Lynn Workman, Fandomania

“Hello, my name is Jerry and my friend here would like to talk to you about Perhaps. by Stephen Schwegler. Go ahead, Santa.”
“Squeak.”
“Nice. Would you like to tell us a few of your favorite lines from this book?”
“Squeak.”
“Yeah, those are pretty great. For those of you who are not fluent in chipmunk:
‘And besides, Heaven has E-Z Pass.’
‘Lay a body out, chop it up and store it in Tupperware.’
‘Must provide own uniform.’
‘The room didn’t flow.’
‘Moo.’
‘Not now, I need to call a locksmith.’
‘See I was healing these lepers, said the wrong thing and, poof, here I am.’
‘Eat one and I’ll let you go.’
‘That’s because you’re trying to open it with your feet.’
‘I think he referred to him as a “deranged crack head.”’
Wait, that last one wasn’t about me, right?”
“Squeak.”
“OK, good.”

Genghis Khan Versus a Velociraptor was our combination book reading, play workshop, and general shindig. There was mingling and reading and free pizza and beer. And you missed it! Sucks to be you.
The whole event went down on April 24, 2010, at Shetler Studios in New York, NY. Stephen Schwegler read excerpts of his book Perhaps. and Eirik Gumeny read from Exponential Apocalypse. As well, actors Matt Reeves, Saida Cooper, Gregory Levine, and Demi Williams workshopped four plays by Eirik Gumeny — Genghis Khan Versus a Velociraptor, Urinal Cakes, Too Easy, and Better Than Flowers. You can find the scripts for the plays here, should you be so inclined. Monica Rodriguez directed the whole shebang, because she’s just that awesome.
