An ex-circus strongman veteran of Warsaw 1939 and Notting Hill rough-justice artist meets his own personal holocaust and "Einsteinian" destiny; maximum boredom and minimum love-making are advised in a 2020 epidemic; a virulent new strain of schizophrenia overwhelms the young son of a "father of the nuclear age; " evolution takes a rebarbative turn in a Kafkaesque love story; and the history of the earth is frankly discussed by one who has witnessed it all. The stories in this collection form a unity and reveal a deep preoccupation: " Einstein s Monsters refers to nuclear weapons but also to ourselves " writes Amis in his enlightening introductory essay. "We are Einstein s monsters: not fully human not for now."
