You're probably wondering just how to take this bloated, colossus piece of interspersed stories riddled with errors both grammatical and thematical. That's alright. I understand the confusion. This novel is a multimedia endeavor from an emphatic love affair with art and the humanities devouring books on construction sites in between dread-inducing hard-labor gigs (he foolishly chose as a job at the A  all the puzzling conundrums of the author's own life as he tries to look back through the untrustworthy but alluring chrysalis of memory stained by tethers of time. Every story is in a terminally liminal stage.  I insist on involving myself in every aspect of my creative endeavors

In a way, this book is co-written by all of you. In that sense don't expect a dogmatic appeal to one ordained view of life whether it's religious propaganda covertly snuck in or even an open-minded free-spirited ideology I've happened to adopt over the years.

With that notion, I make my peace or at least have come my closest to it.
