Synopsis:  In this new buran a young writer seeks to discover the history of his great-grandfather, a Polish immigrant who, according to myth, was a prize-winning boxer, the inventor of the Nabisco cookie, and spoke only in verse. As legend only leads him deeper into uncertainty, our protagonist makes the trek to Krakow, Poland only to find that his play, “Bournijka the Boxer,” which he hasn’t written yet, is already being produced and he must transcribe and plagiarize his own work to get to the heart of his family’s deep rooted mythology.

Synopsis: Laura Belle, a wealthy Southern landowning, aristocratic woman, returns to her estate (a 19th century cotton plantation), bankrupt, after many years of travel. Upon returning she is greeted by three of her ex-slaves, Bubba (a mechanic), Thomas, (a scholar) and Lott (a businessman), who warn her that the mortgage has not been paid and that the estate is to be auctioned off. While Bubba builds a rocket that will take him to the moon, and Thomas devotes his time to researching ways he can turn the plantation into an academic institution, Lott establishes a partnership with Laura Belle to close the plantation and build vacation homes that will reap profits for the both of them.
