experimental work of fiction written in verse. Page count: 30. Word count:
2000.
It’s illegal to wear clothes. In some streets, it’s also illegal
to sing. Concetta, a famous Italian a capella singer from before “the
change,” breaks these laws. As punishment, her vocal chords are brutally
slashed, and her eardrums surgically perforated. Unable to cope living a life
without song, she resolves to drown herself in the river, clothed in a dress
stained with performance memories. But Concetta’s suicide attempt is deterred,
when she is distracted by a busking harpist with gold eyes and teeth. Will he
show her how to sing again, or will the LEO on the prowl for another offender to
detain, arrest her before she has the chance?

Book in this book is both the goodie and the baddie.
Bonnie is five. She wants to bury The Book because it is a demon
that should go to hell. Penny, Bonnie’s mother, does bury The Book, but every
day she digs it up and writes in it. John, Bonnie’s father, doesn’t live with
them anymore. But he still likes to write in it from time to time. Ted, Bonnie’s
stepfather, would like to write in The Book, but Penny won’t allow it.
To Bonnie, The Book is sadness.
To Penny, The Book is liberation.
To John, The Book is forgiveness.
To Ted, The Book is envy.
But The Book in this book isn’t what it seems at all.
