Though published second after Altmann's Tongue, The Din of Celestial Birds (1997) consists of the best of Evenson's early stories.

These stories offer a heady mix of absurdity and bleakness on the one hand and exuberant magic realism on the other.

The Celestial Banquet is a psychological and symbolic novel that explores themes such as consciousness, identity, the perception of reality, and human emotions. Through a reflective and mysterious narrative, the story invites listeners to question human behavior, internal conflicts, and the connection between the mind, experiences, and spirituality from a metaphorical and emotional perspective. The work combines elements of psychodrama, symbolism, and existential reflection to create an introspective experience that seeks to provoke questions rather than provide absolute answers.
