Every June I reread this, my favourite book. By mid-October most of
    its pages have turned loose & brittle, and winterlong this book sits
    empty. But as the sun thaws the earth and the rains swell
    seeds to sprouting, my book's crisp leaves grow back one by one,
    from the Roman numerals of its translator's note all the way through
    page 341, The End. And in June again I read.
This book, left lying on the coffee table by a harried hostess,
    fans open like a peacock and refuses to shut up, to the
    tremendous irritation of the tea-takers.
This book wears its jacket blurbs like naughty undergarments that make us
    all insanely curious about its contents.
This book bears its critical failure on a banner of defiance and
    sells better and better every year.
