Consisting of anonymous e-mail messages sent by the author to an acclaimed visual artist over the course of a year, Permission is the record of an experiment: an attempt to forge a connection with a stranger through the writing of a book. Part meditation, part narrative, part essay, it is presented to its addressee as a gift that asks for no thanks or acknowledgement-but what can be given in words, and what received? Permission not only updates the "epistolary novel" by embracing the permissiveness we associate with digital communication, it opens a new literary frontier. | Permission by S D Chrostowska, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
