A NOTE ABOUT FORMAT: There are several unique features to the formatting of this novel which give the text a distinctive feel and serve to emphasize its poetic and personal tone. The entire text is justified to the centre of the page and is separated into sentences and part-sentences onto uneven lines. In addition, the text is free of capitals and commas, although in the case of commas two additional spaces have been inserted in each place where a pause is necessary. Despite these departures from standard formatting, the text is surprisingly readable and easy to follow. Not only are readers able to quickly adjust to these variations, but the inimitable style serves to draw them into the world of Chet’s first-person narrative.
