Reviewed by Russell B. Farr
This book bills itself as an “autobiography of a man who has been nowhere, done nothing and met nobody”, and with such a low goal to aspire to, accomplishes this. It consists of a number of short pieces, sometimes arbitrarily grouped around the alphabet, that overall form several plot lines. Thrown into the mix are examples of literary fraud.
