The Einstein Intersection

The Einstein Intersection, winner of the 1967 Nebula Award, follows Lo Lobey, an alien who struggles to understand Earth’s mythology after settling among human remnants. While the surface story centers on Lobey’s mythic quest for his lost love, the novel also delves into themes of how those who are "different" navigate dominant cultural ideologies. Through luminous and hallucinatory language, the book explores the emergence of new myths from the leftovers of human civilization as outsiders seek to seize their own histories.
