There are few things in life that are truly beautiful, but with luck and a little effort you may get to experience at least one of them in a lifetime. I have been graced with a stunning piece of modern literature, first in hard copy – the result of a chance meeting with a stranger – which I read with open-mouthed incredulity; and now in electronic form, which I am now able to make available to anyone, for a limited time.

There are two conditions, though, which I am sure I can trust you to stick to:

1) Read it with an open mind and let it do whatever it does to you. Be cynical, be disgusted, be curious, it’s your head.

2) Pass the link on, but be selective, because my ISP isn’t going to be terribly happy if 100,000 people try to download a 13MB file!

That’s it. Anything else you decide to do as a result of reading it is up to you.
