In 'The Otio in Negotio', E. W. Farnsworth has brought together another lively, intelligent collection of stories, focusing on the humor, romance and oddities of exceptionally active and intelligent people in the contemporary world of business. As the title of the entire collection implies, these stories are highly allusive and full of hidden puzzles and games meant to pique the reader's attention. Names are significant. Allusions enrich the narratives. The scope of business is global, and many business plans resemble those of top startup companies in today's financial headlines. The fun in these stories is tempered by the constraints and challenges of business. Farnsworth's CEOs are human and infallible. Sometimes love finds a way, and sometimes it is cruelly eliminated from the personal equation. Where business triumphs, so does the human spirit. When satire chastens, the biters are bitten. A seasoned editor described lead story 'TwinLions' as "Breathtakingly new ... I've read nothing remotely like it."

E. W. Farnsworth's brainy and visionary short stories in this volume are meant to be read individually as invitations to other of his creations. The uncanny interplay of the writer and his context can be understood by the thoughtful, patient reader capable of perceiving semantic patterns beneath the surface of words. The excerpt from ïNightworld: A Novel of Virtual RealityÍ inspired the cover image for this book since the woman with the wolf in the forest is a boundary-crossing Artificial Intelligence. Part of FarnsworthÍs epic vision for the future of humankind, AIs and robotics, the stories from ïDarkFire' and 'DarkFire ContinuumÍ weave a continuous cosmology as the adventures of the spaceship ïArcturus' begin. These stories reveal how their many intellectual games open vistas to the authorÍs past and future stories as well as to inventions and discoveries on the far-horizon of human thought. E. W. Farnsworth is currently working on a visionary epic poem, ïVoyage of the Spaceship Arcturus'.

Terence's Hecyra raises social, literary and theatrical issues of great interest to modern students of Roman comedy and, indeed, of Roman culture more broadly. The play pays strikingly close attention to the domestic problems of women and experiments boldly with traditional comic forms, not only in its creation of anticipatory suspense, but through its variations on traditional situations and roles and its metatheatrical qualities. In addition, Terence's response in his prologues to the play's two putative failures is important, if tendentious, evidence for the mechanics of theatrical performance in the second century, especially the conjunction of theatrical and gladiatorial shows. This edition opens the play's many interpretive challenges to wider scrutiny while remaining attentive to the linguistic needs of students at all levels.

This collection of literary, sometimes melancholy, tales by E. W. Farnsworth invites thoughtful readers to dive right in anywhere for a few minutes or an hour on a subway ride or before bed. Novella 'River Tales' outlines the recruitment of a female CIA agent. 'The Blood Closet' is about a headmistress's perplexity dealing with gender issues in a middle school. Each work of flash fiction is thought-provoking. Some stories are profound and most will reward re-reading - closely; a few link by characters and actions to other works by the author. E. W. Farnsworth lives and writes in Gilbert, Arizona, USA. With over two-hundred and fifty short stories published online and in print, he renders real-world experience in fiction with his own cosmos. One critic sincerely hoped that the incidents in Farnsworth's fiction have no counterparts in real life. In fact, they all are drawn to life. In that sense, his fiction is troubling, intentionally so.
