LIST OF THE LOST

'Beware of the novelist - intimate and indiscreet - pompous, prophetic airs - here is the fact of the fiction - an American tale where, naturally, evil conquers good, and none live happily ever after, for the complicated pangs of the empty experiences of flesh-and-blood human figures are the reasons why nothing can ever be enough. To read a book is to let a root sink down. List of the lost is the reality of what is true battling against what is permitted to be true.'
