A fourth collection of head-scratching nanopieces: funny, horrifying, bemusing, and completely unclassifiable. This book is absolutely unique except for its three predecessors and any other books I decide to write (plus the minutes from that one unusual town council meeting in Idaho). Learn why Ahab missed, how to avoid being labeled a forester, why it’s important to show up very very late, and how to avoid being spontaneously spousified. Everything you need in order to live a short, cautionary tale of a life is presented here in eyepopping Palatino twelve-point. For one millionth the price of a college education, you can learn a billionth as much.
