A Book of Facts: a novel

This book started as a dream that visited Gary Alexander in the middle of the night, and wound up as a strange "novel" told A to Z. Not your typical storytelling approach, but one that will tickle your intellect and give you an assortment of facts that fashion an unusual fiction. It resembles a Farmer's Almanac or World Almanac. The book is structured chronologically and alphabetically, years and letters advancing together. "You'll have a hard time pigeonholing this book," says editorial director Hollis George. "But you'll be talking about this innovative work for weeks after you finish reading it."
