Elena Torres Explains Humanity
The Aliens Have Requested My Mother is a warm, wildly funny first-contact comedy about a retired Cuban-American school office manager who discovers the extraterrestrials she’s been writing to for twenty-three years were never actually from Saskatchewan.
There Is No Intelligent Life Out There sends Elena Torres to humanity’s first extraterrestrial summit, where she discovers that crossing interstellar space is apparently much easier than developing common sense.
