This one is really hard to find now, and that's a shame. This book is a true gem. Short, only 157 pages, absolutely hilarious in parts, and has a magical ending about the transforming power of literature and art. When you finish this one you think, "Wow, what a great idea for a book, and the author crafted it perferctly. " Some books are great in conception, but flawed in the performance. Some books are beautifully crafted but ultimately are about nothing and you wonder 'Why did the author bother?' (answer, more often than not, book contract.) This one is hits on all cylinders. Find it. Read it. Tell others!
