Preliminaries
Dedication For Mad Epigraphs
A Special Invitation from Albertine Gaudet, Innkeeper If you have ever stayed at Small’s, you know that occasionally we provide entertainment in the lounge after dinner. Usually, it’s nothing much—sometimes I play the piano, and now and then one guest may attempt to levitate another, but this fall we have something special planned. The memoirist Peter Leroy (who happens to be my husband), will read Dead Air, the latest installment of his personal history, adventures, experiences, and observations, in its entirety, over the course of fifty consecutive nights, finishing on his fiftieth birthday. Each reading will be a self-contained episode, so you can “get” any one of them without knowing any of the others. (Of course, you would derive the greatest pleasure from them if you stayed with us for fifty nights and heard them all. Inquire about our special rates.) This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Don’t miss it! Small’s Hotel “The Little Hotel Without a Slogan” Small’s Island, Babbington, New York 555-SML-ISLE |
