"Dear
Reader
I'm
hopeful that you will get the jokes in this book, or at least find
them thought-provoking, without the benefit of any translation by
myself or other critics. I would like to explain, however, that the
central idea here was to portray a life of continual distraction that
gets nowhere by going everywhere and starts over before beginning.
Ideally you will continue to read this book without ever completely
finishing it.
I
would like to acknowledge a special debt to the Indo-Europeans for
providing many of these words.
