Abstract
-
en_US
This is a fascinating double book in which the back cover of one book is joined back-to-back with the upside-down back cover of the other book. Open it one way and it gives you an old fable; open it the other and you have a new fable. The old fable is characterized as Asian. Some of us may know it from Tony DiMello. Several rounds occur starting with a farmer purchasing a fine new horse and his neighbor saying that he was lucky. Perhaps. Then the horse runs away. Unlucky. Perhaps. The horse returns and brings many other horses along. Lucky. Perhaps. The farmer's son rides the horse, falls, and breaks a leg. Unlucky. Maybe. Soldiers come through and conscript but do not take the son. The new fable applies that old fable to contemporary times as a man invents a great new product in his garage, only to see it stolen. He sues and after a long battle wins all his competitor's assets, only to lose everything in a stock-market crash. This fable ends as the reader turns a page to find three endings of the story that unfold from their base on the page. The three endings are quite different! Each front cover has an inlaid bar of patterned white material.
