Abstract

en_US Working with fables brings me to wonderfully strange experiences! I figured one of those was coming when I noticed that the cover photo of this 185-page book shows a man in a straw hat vomiting. The back cover advises: Store this classic collection of anti-wisdom in a zip-lock bag beneath your toilet. Read during your bowel movements. Wipe with the pages. Refresh your copy frequently. The foreword is signed by Edit-whore & chef, N.M. I tried perhaps five of the short offerings. They are anti-wisdom, sometimes surprising, sometimes perhaps angry. The Guru (1) has a disciple pledge himself to a master for years only to find out that the master is a fake bilking him of money. Life is the Butt of a Dream (5) is a bit of GA. One man spends all sorts of energy building a house while another watches him and dreams. The house-builder scorns the other when the dreamer asks if he can stay with him. Two weeks later the dreamer finds the house-builder dead of a heart attack in his beautiful home. The dreamer buries him and moves into the house. Maybe closest to traditional fable is Country Rooster, City Rooster (15). The story begins as a typical war movie with the City Rooster nobly and surprisingly saving the Country Rooster in the midst of a terrible battle in the Great War. They became gay partners, visited the Country Rooster's family at home, and were scorned. They returned to the city and they made love like only gay chickens can (17). Yes, these fables are broken!
