"Craziest" is an intriguing first in a series of short stories offered online in Flash and in audio podcast. The subject, loosely speaking: braniacs who think too much. Editor Liz Dubelman sez:
The inspiration for CRAZIEST came one day while I was listening to Bookworm with Michael Silverblatt on KCRW (my local NPR station). I am an NPR junkie. I feel lonely when I don't have it on in my car or streaming out of my computer speakers. Anyway, his guest was Myla Goldberg, who wrote "The Bee Season." I thought, if spelling bee champions are weird, Scrabble players are at least as weird. I began to explore people who build "thought castles" Â people who take thinking too far. What would make someone need to create her own order? Who would that person be that would have such a strong need for magical thinking?
