-
We have villagers, including the deceased philosopher,
-
Pinchas T, who in his only notable paper,
-
To the Dust: From Man You Came and to Man You Shall Return, argues
-
that it would be possible, in theory, for life and art to be reversed.
-
We have the good gefilte-fish monger, Bitzl Bitzl R.
-
We have the mad squire and village rapist, Sofiowka N.
-
We have Harry V, the shtetl's master logician and
-
resident pervert, who had been working for many years
-
on his magnum opus, The Host of Hoists, which,
-
he promised, contained the tightest of tight logical proofs that
-
God indiscriminately loves
-
the indiscriminate lover.
