Dear Editor,
I am the "Author" who is being much buzzed about in your editorial and society page. I am not going mad. I am not in need of a straight jacket, and I am making excellent progress in this novel. To those of you who expect a fictionalized account of your lives, I'm sorry but this is wholly fiction and my intentions are not to propagate any agenda or cult of personality which some would suggest. My intentions are to examine the bleak outlook of life for those who inhabit our fair city and our world without the comforts of spiritual diversion and also to admonish our current complacency in accepting the half-hatched utopia we were already promised.
I am not a traditional utopian in that I do not see the world and the individual as capable of harmony, yet I know that social justice is a goal and that with more harmony, resonance is stronger. Let us all tune ourselves to a common vision and move forward is the next step. This novel does nothing to prescribe an actual course. Simply to reveal, such as the existentialist, the universal malady of a society so dependent on a identity of progress but with no merits and credits to such a status. Silver City is a city of skeptics and I imagine that no one will believe again but were not the deluded religious masses happier with their stronger sense of common identity? This is the question I pose. Anyway....read it once it comes out and make me a richer man.
Yours truly,
The Author
