    This is the tale of what happens when a compassionate, honest, humble man is confronted by corruption, cruelty and malice. Readers get to share this metaphoric journey through the intricacies of the human mind. When Clyde is subjected to a harsh world he begins to make tenuous connections steeped in reality and becomes prone to the whisperings of his own secret understandings.

    To all those whom seek the iron words of the community: if your book is good, it will stand on its own. Be it a short story, a novel, a novella, a chapter book, a poetry book, a chapbook, a manga or a graphic novel...it will seek reviews by itself. You need to do nothing with it. Do nothing but write. Give up review seeking and focus on writing, for that is what becomes you in the end.

    The reviewer's view knew not of the true part of the writer's view, so good or bad, do not brew, and let them through to another part of you.

    Then I realized that I was falling victim to one of the fallacies of the bad reviewer (whose habits we already discussed at length in yesterday’s commentary). I was wishing that Hamid had written a different book than he had. How I might have written this story is completely irrelevant. It would be like dismissing The Godfather because I wished it were a musical. The novel needs to be considered on its own terms.
