    About this ebook

    "A book you could become obsessed with." Alastair Braidwood. The death sentence of a spaceman: the claustrophobic editor of a newspaper’s letters page receives a note from a kidnapper informing him that ‘intolerance will not be tolerated’ and that a hostage will be executed unless he arranges for a letter to be published on the front page of the next morning’s paper. So begins the narrator’s tale, within which we encounter strange characters - such as Chris The Crossword Compiler and Mark Twain (or at least, his namesake) - and hear of an enigmatic organisation of moral vigilantes called The Amino. But who is the kidnapper? What are his/her motives? And why would he/she wish to pass a death sentence on the narrator?

      Something as infinite as a black screen cannot contain something as infinite as grief. Instead, grief distorts space, time, and language. It insults language. It devours words. When grieving, entire dictionaries dissolve into atmospherically thin air

      One thing you could always say for me: I was a finisher. I may not have been a great reader, but by God I was dogged, and if I made it through the opening 10th of a book, then I was going all the way to the end. Though this started as merely an incli
