The Work Underground is a collection of allegories that I have written over the past 20 years. There were many other of these subversive writings that I left out. Perhaps I will include them in an addendum. But here the reader will find a world of angst and sarcasm, and with nuances of laughter and despair. The setting and subject of these collected works are void of time and place. The writings here are based on life, though appear as fantasy, a netherworld with parallels to everyday existence here in the real world.
