Rest in piss, Mum. Dad is his usual dead self so this novel can only be dedicated to me. Me, it’s all about Meme. Mim. Head with no body. Ghost with no Machine. Ghost left the Machine for the Shell. Ghost in the Shell. Caspar in the Bullet. Magus in the Lead. Number One but no gold. Magus in the Lead. Bullet enters Christ’s skull. Leaves frankincense in his brain. Fragrant thoughts, mankind’s salvation shall be aromatic. Ain’t that novel? Novel like novel? Interestingly new like a fictitious narrative prose of book length? Tale of Genji? Shining Genji? Son of the Emperor? Emperor Kiritsubo a moon? Music’s Moondog? Beloved like ‘the Beloved’?

Of course!! Louis Harden is the modern age’s Louis XV, beloved just as he was. King of the Sixth Street as Louis XV was King of France. And dead too, like the other is. Rest in peace.
