Bach explores the nature of teaching oneself how to think, parallel universes, the afterlife, and the dimensions of time and space in this short novel. Bach's "Johnathan Living Seagull," "Illusions," and his Ferret Chronicles were best sellers. His titles have been experiencing a comeback in the last decade. First Editions, signed and unsigned, have had an uptick in demand.
In a 2010 interview with Manoj Khatri, Bach reflected on the nature of being a student and teacher: "Only when you've been instructing for a while do you realize that you almost never touch the controls. You sit there alongside your student and you offer suggestions...sure enough, you hypnotize them while they're awake."
