Alex Taylor

To say that Alex Taylor was born would be to oversimplify, but the earliest evidence for his existence consist of primitive cave paintings and artifacts found in the Okavango Delta that have been carbon dated back to 2700 BCE.

Largely scorned by the philosophers of the day, Alex nonetheless won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1992 for his work arming Ainu maoist rebels in the hills of Hokkaido.

Elder statesman, noted icthyologist and social gadfly, Alex is now retired with his wife Sheila and their 14 Maltese dogs in the hills of Vermont. His latest book, The Cat's Ragged Shoes, met little critical acclaim.
