This story is one of sixteen stories from CHAIRS.
In Star of Love Christopher G. Moore and Barney Rosset spend an afternoon in Patpong discussing literature and authors. They discuss how literary destiny would have changed had Henry Miller gone to Bangkok rather than Paris. Tropic of Cancer would have been a different book. In this memorable encounter, the question of chance and randomness are in the background, reminding us that the past could have been very different and the fact it wasn't is part of the grand mystery.
