WEIRD HISTORY OF A LONELY SHORT STORY

The only book on earth in which people are depicted as books - which we all are, after all! In this surprising, playful and layered tale, we follow Short Story, a character who is - literally - a book. He discovers that there is something fundamentally wrong with the Contents of the average Proofs in Bookshop City and begins a quest to break the hegemony of the Bestsellers.
During his journey, he falls in love with a charming travel brochure, Glossy, and meets colorful characters such as The Lexicon, The Pub Guide, The Interview and the TV Bode. On the advice of a wandering Indian Veda, his search leads to Not-Finished-Island, where the stolen Personal Incidents and Thinking Capital are said to be hidden - crucial elements from the content of the poor Proofs.
This novel is both an adventurous epic and a profound metaphor for literature, identity, and the battle between content and commerce. A must-read for kids, postmodern lovers, bookworms, and anybody who loves a swell told yarn!
