Summer 06
A Tail of Space
J.B.Pravda Torn between the greater good of peace, at last, between peoples of
differing cultural mores and traditions on the one hand and his selfish
concerns about posing as the chained primate in Grigori's elaborately
feigned appearance of insanity as his ticket home, Astronaut Simpson
agreed to play Jocko the surly monkey in the upcoming television
transmission back to Star City, Russia from the confines of an admittedly
long past prime Mir, hoping earnestly that when his time came to return
his prehensile tail would fit in his spacesuit.
Born in Brooklyn, J.B. Pravda is a prolific writer in all genres, with an emphasis on short works, including microfiction/flash fiction and one act plays. His collection, An Attention-Deficit Anthology or Short
Walks Through a Long Now is featured at the innovative
Warholesque gallery in NYC, Unpublished Underground (www.unpublishedunderground.com). Recently he was selected by Kennedy Center Staff & NYU Drama Faculty to participate in the Summer Intensive Playwriting Program and will be featured in Judy Brown’s next
standup comedy book out in 07.
