Should we label this book fiction or non-fiction? Does it even matter?
The book might seem reminiscent of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where readers wonder "Is it science fiction or serious social commentary?" Here, too, an emotional story mixes with hardcore non-fiction to form a Socratic dialogue for the 21st century. It's intended to make the head buzz, to be outrageous enough to provoke critical thinking for anyone with a curious mind.
So how short are the tiny essays? Shorter than tiny, in fact.
How strange is this Socratic dialogue? Plenty strange.
We have a broken-hearted divorced editor who says "I think I murdered my own mother."
We have an author who raises pomegranates for therapy and says "I demand my right
to be wrong."
Together they discuss their dramatic life stories and 20 essays such as:
