An ultra-short story that in defiance of literary taste and publishing conventions manifests itself as a novel-sized book, even containing the entire text of Tolstoy’s ‘War and Peace’. It brings to mind a fly thinking it might drive a car, a raindrop imagining it will drown a city, a particle of dust readying itself to make you stumble.
