Le Monde Comme Il Va by Jodee Fenton

Voltaire's short story about Babouc's diplomacy adventure was printed by Press Intermezzo and offered in sheets. Although this little story is not as popular as Voltaire's other works, its satire may be even more ironic (if that's possible!). Babouc is assigned a spying mission but comes back with a much more worldly view of human nature. I selected the red buffalo because of the grain of the leather--the world seemed to be moving through this universe. The inlaid earth is travelling as it will and we humans just must go along.
