INSIDE JOB: Connie Willis: Subterranean: Fiction: 99 pages.Rob, a professional debunker, and his partner Kildy, a former Hollywood star, set out to expose a medium who claims to channel an ancient spirit named Isus. The psychic’s performances are interrupted, though, by what appears to be the spirit of H.L. Mencken, the skeptical journalist who covered the Scopes Monkey Trial. While not as satisfying as Willis’s longer fiction, this novella is a thoroughly readable story about the nature of truth, interwoven with history, romance, social commentary, and literary allusions in typical Willis fashion.
