A special mailing arrived from Marie Wintzer in a beautiful envelope featuring a Japanese print and stamps, one of them with Japanese pottery. So elegant! Inside was a small bookie, made of a well used map, as you can tell by the deep folds and creases in the paper. Marie, however, reversed the map to make the bookie and so you only get glimpses of the landscape visited at the edge of the book pages. These, similarly, contain glimpses of a narrative, bits of a text folded creatively and repeated in hand writing. Some of the text could be read as a reflection on the book itself "transform people, and weeks after the mysteries, there were puzzles" ...  "otherwise consent in any form of binding or it is published" ... The bookie ends with "I have another adventure tu for letting me ..." Thank you Marie, I am looking forward to the sequel with the next adventure!
