"In his studies of borrowing from distant poetic traditions, Serrano aims to uncover the heterogenity of influences and intentions in the most canonical of texts: ""Mallarme"" (1842-98), ""Segalen"" (1878-1919), ""Wang Wei"" (701-61), the ""Classic of Poetry"" (8th century BCE), ""Buhturi"" (821-97), and the ""Qur'an"" (7th century CE). Arguing, among other things that Mallarme was really a Chinese poet, that ancient Chinese poets discovered the workings of film imagery, and that the Qur'an's apparently disjointed narrative is profoundly lyrical, Serrano intends to overturn accepted notions of how to read individual works. He brings methodologies from the study of one literature to bear on the reading of another."

Historical novel, written in Esperanto, about the culture, daily life, diplomacy, and wars of the Huns during the 3rd century B.C.E. -- Dua duono de la 3-a jarcento aK.: Imperiestro Qin Shi Huangdi, regho de Qin, lanchas siajn armeojn kontrau' la najbaraj reghlandoj. En 256 la reghlando Zhou estas okupita; en 230 la reghlando Han; en 228, la Zhao; en 225 venis la vico de Wei. La maljuna regho de Wei devigas sian filon Chan, la chef-komandanton de la armeoj de Wei, al akcepto de senespera fronta batalo. Post la malvenko, la princo Chan fughas kun sia huna kavalerio en Chu-landon. Post malvenko en Chu, en 223, la kavalerio de la Princo dau'rigas la rezistadon en Yan, kiu falas post unujara batalado. Du jarojn poste la tuta Chinio apartenas al la Qin. La princo Chan sin kashas, dum sep jaroj, en taoisma monakejo meze de neatingeblaj montaroj. Sed farighi taoisma saghulo ne estis lia destino; li ne kapablas submetighi al la malamata Qin. Li decidas forlasi la chinan teron kaj komenci novan vivon che la hunoj. "La Princo che la hunoj" estas la rakonto pri la hunigho de china aristokrato, pri malfacila adaptigho de talenta individuo al alia civilizo, al aliaj homoj, moroj, gustoj kaj odoroj.
