   Comes with 98page poem "LATTEN LEGEND LIBER I" in pdf format, the first installment of a metered narrative fantasy frighteningly derivative of Ariosto, De Troyes, and Chaucer, with acidic notes of Vance and Wolfe and an oddly Herodotus aftertaste.

   What are the press saying about SOME FOOL?
   "Those of noblest rank in this world always follow their desires, enjoy being honored, take pride in social contacts, pursue litigation in the courts, feed on plunder, delight in slander, and crave ruddy-gold talents. When they seem to possess a little, they are all the more inflamed to gather more, and a heap of gold induces in them a fierce thirst to possess: as Prudentius said, 'With the massing of gold the thirst for gold increases.'
   "Thus it happens that while they enjoy being pleased by the pomp and empty honors of the world, they do not remember to think of dignities that remain and do not pay attention to what is not seen, since they unjustly possess things which they think will satisfy their longings.
   "But there are those who, through a greater intelligence, have released themselves from these bonds, like birds who fly out of their snares up to the sky: leaving their detested earthly possessions behind, they apply themselves with all their strength to heavenly things. Such a one was Some Fool, an inhabitant of the city of Baltimore..."
   --Gregory of Tours

   What kind of maniac reads this whole poem?
   Reading the whole thing is, unfortunately, mandatory-- Alas! the poem and sounds are entirely inextricable-- Still, we have found its droll humor and convenient division into numbered cantos makes it particularly conducive to reading on the toilet.

   The Legend continues in 5weeks with:
   FATHERS, or A PEACH-THORN PIGEON
