"Before the Giant Anteater" is an outrageously humorous short story collection by Peter Clarke. The title story serves as a clownish follow-up to André Breton's poem "After the Giant Anteater." Each story in this collection begins at a place just before absurdity strikes-like the moment just before Dali showed up in Paris with his giant anteater on a leash. It's a safe bet that, from there, the stories all fall off the hook and venture into a realm of chaos as quickly as possible. The collection also explores themes involving the madness of technology, modern occultism, and the comedy of the impending end of the world. Many of the stories in this collection first appeared in literary journals including Juked, 3AM Magazine, Drunk Monkeys, Pacifica Literary Review, Fixional, Cheap Pop, Empty Sink Publishing, Red Fez, Weirderary, and Two Cities Review.

John Maynard Keynes died in 1946 but his ideas and his example remain relevant today. In this distinctive new account, Peter Clarke shows how Keynes's own career was not simply that of an academic economist, nor that of a modern policy advisor. Though rightly credited for reshaping economic theory, Keynes's influence was more broadly based and is assessed here in a rounded historical, political and cultural context. Peter Clarke re-examines the full trajectory of Keynes's public career from his role in Paris over the Versailles Treaty to Bretton Woods. He reveals how Keynes's insights as an economic theorist were rooted in his wider intellectual and cultural milieu including Bloomsbury and his friendship with Virginia Woolf as well as his involvement in government business. Keynes in Action uncovers a much more pragmatic Keynes whose concept of 'truth' needs to be interpreted in tension with an acknowledgement of 'expediency' in implementing public policy.
