New Book by Philip Wexler: The Sad Parade

NEW YORK - Jan. 9, 2020 - PRLog -- "when all else fails, when theme and form abandon him, and it feels as though there is no rhyme or reason to fabricate organizing principles, arrange into categories, or impose common meaning where none exists on the pretext of satisfying the vague expectations of academicians or undercovers agents intent on extracting the concrete from the intangible and certainty from the obscure, he might as well alphabetize, this being as good an arrangement as any, neither forced nor arbitrary, and yielding an accidental goldmine of its own, giving the inquiring grist for the mill as they suspect a trick and pore over possibilities they are sure are hidden in this strictly ordered yet ambiguous sequence, but should the creator (with a lower case "c" that is) suspect that, in spite of himself, there might be a hidden inadvertent key giving the secret to who knows what away, which would be the last thing he'd choose to do willingly, because, who knows, he may well harbor some covert motive hi is not fully aware of"
