The book is a novella about the search to determine the truth of whether the writer, Xavier Cockroachal Damon, who it was widely accepted had been dead for years, was actually, possibly still alive. I was the one who set out on the investigation to uncover the facts.The search did get pretty crazy and it was very bizarre and entirely absurd, but it eventually did lead to a resolution, just not in a way I ever would have expected. Truth, indeed, can sometimes be stranger than fiction.
