Ishtanu (call him Stan) is a Hittite immortal keeping his head down in Toronto and recounting some of his experiences. Trn is an immortal Trojan princess who thought she'd killed Stan in post-war Berlin but who now knows he survived. Yes, technically Stan can die. He has just managed not to for 3200 years.

As their stories braid together toward a final reckoning they take us through, among other things, a subversive retelling of the Odysseus story, the resistance of pagan Lithuania against Papal crusaders, the decline of Friedrich Nietzsche in a German clinic, the arts scene inbelle epoqueParis, and the descent of Europe into the horrors of the Great War.

Strap in.

Stan On Guardis the follow-up to K. R. Wilson's tragical-comical-historical novelCall Me Stan: A Tragedy in Three Millennia, which was long-listed for the 2022 Leacock Medal for Humour.
