Congratulations! You have made an apt choice. You have in your hands a beautiful and economical reading. Beautiful because I wrote it and economical because, without knowing it, you are holding in your hands not one, but two books, one inside the other. In one you will meet two imaginary authors, an imaginary God and a Red. In the other... What can I tell you about the other? I'll tell you one thing, it starts like this: Birth, sometimes, is sadder and harder than death, especially if you are born poor...Awesome, eh! Anyway, in these hard times, buying two books for the price of one is no small thing. I hope you enjoy both, or at least one, or neither. I greet you from the writer's paradise.
