About This Novel

History keeps repeating itself, "the first time is a tragedy, the second time is a farce." At the end of the world last time, a wood beetle got into Noah's ark. What it saw Noah doing was very different from what was recorded in the book. The Ark reappears repeatedly in human history, whether it is a robbed cruise ship, a Titanic, or a lone boat on the sea in a nuclear panic... This stowaway has not left. It looks coldly at how history is distorted, and how the distortion can become "real" history; it possesses Barnes's wonderful writing, teaching him to collage a seemingly absurd but enlightening world history with pieces of wonderful articles.
