Set in Bruce Piasecki's actual neighborhood outside of this historic revolutionary town Saratoga Springs, New York, this Fable begins with the discovery that one of his family's neighbors are conspiratorialist, people of profound passion and misinformation. During a lovely dinner despite three years of The Virus, they dine together, and are intrigued by the neighbors Parrot, military equipment, and literary excellence. Suddenly, the neighbors leave for Maine; and the protagonist George develops his lifelong friends Winston and Abe, as they weather many insults from storms and other harms. Winston is a tax attorney; and Abe is a daily journalist, who had met George during their elite training in college.
The seven book author Thaddeus Rutkowski does a fine introduction drawing the hilarious parallels between Bruce Piasecki's reflections on freedom and fate during their undergraduate years in the 1970s, and the lasting themes of this Fable.
The endorsements for this Fable have arrived from Istanbul Turkey, Australia's northern regions, Ireland, Scotland and throughout the professions, from experts on white supremacy, social unrest, and philosophy.

The best thing to take from creative writing like this Fable is a sense of freedom.
