    <![CDATA[Reading this book will enable you to sit still for extended periods of time while your fruit paints you. It is recommended you wear your least favorite hat while reading this. Even if you don't read this yourself (for men) lending this book to women is an almost guaranteed way to make them fall in love with you. (for women) If you're not already in love with yourself, find out why.]]>

    <![CDATA[In the beginning was four drunken editors and their girlfriend/wives in a Midtown Manhattan bar. Four drunken editors et al whose recollections would equal at least eight or sixty four different genesises - or is that genesi? They might have argued the proper plural if given the cue but their lines were cast for bigger fish. They shared a philosophy that was species neutral. An empty hook will snag a catch eventually. And what have you caught?  &quot;Well, this looks like some kind of Perch, which reminds me of Canary. And that's the book industry. That's a cage you carry around until its prisoner is dead.&quot;  &quot;My catch is longer, a slithier silver.&quot;  &quot;Slithy earn.&quot;   &quot;This fish is pretty fat, and in this sense not good, but it does have whiskers and what's more this fish brags.&quot;  &quot;It's too bad the hook gashed up one side of this guppy because if you could excise that whole side, the rest...&quot;  &quot;Tasty... Shrimp.&quot;  &quot;A tiny penis fish.&quot;  And undoubtedly time went by when no fish were snagged. That's when you turn to talk to the bartender or excuse yourself to where the most genisi are found (empirically, yes, thank you), which are at the urinal. One should piss fish as well as catch them because that's exactly the kind of fish we're looking for. Well, as it turns out, that is to say in the end, it's not the fish you hook but the accidental fish that slaps your ankle. It swims by and you never even really read it. It reads its way accidentally into your boat.   Bloog Mandrake  NY NY USA]]>

    <![CDATA[&quot;The wry wit and rueful melancholy of this book make it completely original and unlike anything else available. Live dangerously. Read it.&quot; --The Darkbloom Review  &quot;Each fragment of Brijbasi's reality has the pregnant lack of connection that we find in dreams. He is able to assemble the dream states in evocative and poetic ways that give a wry twist to the human condition.&quot; --The Midwest Book Review  &quot;Reading One Note Symphonies was like entering a world on the brink of insanity. Intelligence abounds, along with irony, absurdity, imagination, and best of all prose.&quot; --New Book Reviews]]>

    <![CDATA[Brijbasi is the poet of irrecoverables. The shadowy figures of his skeletal world have no faces and they would not accept epiphanies. They do accept absurdities and they revel in contradictions. Brijbasi carries this to a degree that naturalizes absurdities and contradictions. The result is less fiction than a display of the mechanics of fiction that focuses on the bare minimum of expected content. This austerity, however witty it often is, brings the reader to considerations of what reality might be like if we look at it closely and if it is, in fact, real.]]>
