Since the coup against the late, disgraced Emperor Haile Selassie nearly two years ago, Ethiopia's revolutionary experiment in "scientific socialism " has proved to be as eccentric and quixotic as anything decreed by the old kingdom. In addition to the unresolved civil war in Eritrea and successive years of the ruinous drought that led to thousands of deaths by starvation, the Dergue has had to cope with a staggering array of other problems, including widespread internal discontent, armed rebellion in the countryside, and bitter antagonisms with neighboring countries.

The prolific Charyn, 38, an associate professor of English at the City University of New York, also has two other works in progress, including the history of an imaginary European kingdom called Whalebone. A resourceful scavenger of story ideas, Charyn says the inspiration for the Isaac trilogy came from night mares of his brother, a homicide detective in the New York police department. Whalebone was provoked by a reading of Emperor Maximilian's brief maladroit reign in mid-19th century...
