Then, Suddenly

"A reader and a writer don their respective roles and embark on the journey of a book. This is their story - ultimately a love story - darkly funny, mournful, testy. It is about a reader who at times presides over the page like a god, and at other times follows the leash of the author's voice through the dark streets of the book like a dog, and it is about a writer of determined slipperiness. As we read, we think that each of us is The Reader, the one who knows the Real Story. But the more we think we understand, the more the story moves away from us - all is not what it seems."--BOOK JACKET.
