With my years of experience, I have came to a trivial and rash conclusion that writing a preface for books is not an easy task. The vain wish to write was conceived together with a friend when I was serving the army overseas years back. But action never really kicked in because of the author's lack of genius. However, in recent months, an endearing someone who has the gift of totally charming the author has set the gears in motion with her fantastical imagination. And it was thus the protaganist Towel was given shape and form.
It is however, regretful that a title has not come about. The Life and Adventures of Towel is, to be honest, lacking in creativity and originality. The title therefore shall be given more thoughts and revisions.
In general, the framework of this blend of fact and fiction is a postmodernistic children fable, if that is actually possible. This has to be greatly attributed to the grave and solemn education the author was subjected to in his brief epiphanic encounter of university. The characters in the plot are mutated from real life people, and the events are likewise, influenced by life's lessons. Due to the nature of the author's discipline of learning, there will also be, hopefully, a multitude of references and motifs drawn from literary works that have struck a resonance.
Lastly, it is the author's wish, and perhaps also the influential endearing person's, that the story be amusing, appealing, entertaining and interesting. Hopefully, the author may also successfully pull it off and make it to appear highly intellectual and thought-provoking.
