Synopsis
Billy Bearfield always wanted to create a meaningful legacy as a writer. Unfortunately, instead of leaving his mark on society, he has stumbled into a job as a bank collections manager. He spends his days harassing people for money, tolerating his obnoxious boss, and trolling online chat rooms. Billy's life is pretty much meaningless until a bizarre encounter on a commuter train launches a fantastical search to define the core of humanity: the rules of the world. A quirky writer by the name of Gooseman Pobatz reveals the first rule: "No lies, ever " Billy's meeting with Pobatz sends him wheeling through time. As he travels through Alturo Sentoris in search of the mysterious Noman, keeper of the rules, the people and creatures get weirder and more mystical. Billy chats with a cyclops, is tempted by a siren, and has a poignant meeting with his maker. All the while, the rules of the world become clearer, and life itself takes on new meaning. Howard McDaniel's intricate and powerful debut The Rules of the World is a darkly humorous Dantean journey of postmodern symbolism, imaginative parables, and universal lessons., Billy Bearfield always wanted to create a meaningful legacy as a writer.

- r***r (2961)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook arrived today, 2 days before deadline given by the seller. Well-packaged & in good condition. Price was very competitive, & the book was accurately listed. Great communication. I appreciate the seller getting back to me when I was having trouble tracking the book's delivery progress. Apparently there were 2 different tracking numbers - one in Canada & the other in the U.S., since it was initially shipped from Canada. Thank you very much for your quick response & helpful information.Rethinking Investing: A Very Short Guide to Very Long-Term Investing by Charles (#396183075510)
- e***_ (15)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSeller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.
