Zarathustra Must Die is a fictional memoir of a graduate student's odyssey through the thought of Friedrich Nietzsche—a journey that is far more than purely intellectual. Through many states of consciousness, Dorian Alexander finally comes to realize the nature of time and its role in human existence. Dorian Alexander is the pen name of a prominent philosopher and scientist. Zarathustra Must Die is Alexander's first work of fiction and reflects his longtime fascination with the work of Nietzsche.
