This is a book of matches. You need a Narrative Hospital to stitch them together. Hopefully, this review is that hospital. But, better still, you match them together yourself independent of this review.
It is also a wonderful experience, probably the most important experience in any physical book, with all its tricks and trepidations, tribulations and triumphs: including the final conflagrative triumph: the inspiring poem at the end: “THIS IS NOT A MANIFESTO; IT IS A LOVE SONG.”
The detailed review of this book posted elsewhere under my name is too long or impractical to post here.
Above is one of its observations at the time of the review.

A bit absurd. Or maybe: An absurd bit.
Let the old ways die, he thought. It is time for new patterns and systems! There can be no more ridiculous synchronicity of words and actions; the two must move to their own rhythms and when these work against each other new significants emerge.
