LIKE A GOOD FISHERMAN (November 25, 2014)
It has been nearly a month since my last book appeared in print, but there has been not a peep about it yet. The World Wide Web is my witness. So far, the book appears on the publisher’s website and my two websites. And that is it. Even though I did not expect any sort of splash following the publication, I am still puzzled about the complete and total silence. Once again, the effort appears to have been in vain. But it all boils down to sheer luck, as ever. If the book gets into the hands of the right person or group of people, it will be trumpeted far and wide. If not, the present silence will continue indefinitely. Luckily, the book’s message is that there is little if anything that can be done about climate change. And that everything that can be done about it will be done without any guidance on anyone’s part, anyway. Perhaps the only message worth the effort is that there is light at the end of the tunnel. The light of the long-forgotten past, that is. Be that as it may, the best I can do is wait like a good fisherman. The net is in its place, and it takes some patience before the fish comes rushing in. Assuming there is any fish, of course.
