-“Idea for book: Wilmot Lansbury is a manic-depressive who wakes in a strange city without his shoes. He cannot find his shoes. Lansbury reports to the police but a strange sense of dread suddenly envelops him. In an existential miasma of conflicting feelings, he flees from the police station, is chased by a sergeant who suspects him of wrongdoing and also dislikes his shoelessness. Lansbury hides in a birch tree until night. Finds a beautiful but mysterious woman also hiding in the birch tree, as part of her yoga class. He feels immediate chemistry but she rebukes him for lack of shoes. Lansbury weeps, weeping is interrupted by mob midget ‘Bottle-Sized Beretellioni’ who pistol whips him, believing him to be the man who locked his sister in a glove compartment, where she perished from paper cuts received from a poorly folded roadmap. Was it Lansbury or ­ the man with no feet?? (conclusion??)”

-I wept that I had no shoes until I met a man with no feet. Since he didn’t need his shoes any more, he was happy to give them to me. I asked him if I could pay him back in any way, and he said ‘How about you giving me a fish?’ I said ‘Well, how about I teach you to fish? Because if I just give you a fish, you’ll only have something to eat today, but if I teach you to fish, you’ll have something to eat forever.’ Then he said ‘Yeah, that’s a nice thought and everything, but I can’t get down to the lake. I have no feet.’ ‘Oh,’ I said, ‘Is that why sometimes there is only one set of footprints in the sand?’ He said yeah.”
