RESURRECTION came from an afternoon's pleasure of eating steamed crabs at Kaufman's restaurant (which opened the year I was born) near Annapolis.
In Resurrection I tried to imagine an alien society that would arise from the biological imperatives of crustaceans. The sequence of developing this piece was WRITING the first third, the last quarter, and then the middle section. I knew how it would end when I started, but had to work out the mechanism that would drive it to that conclusion.
The Christian trinity features greatly in the images and structure of this story, as do a number of other religious symbols.
Stan Schmidt suggested many changes, and forced me to use the correct Linnean nomenclature I am very appreciative of his efforts to turn this into its final form.
