Dear subscribers,
I had posted earlier with the proposed book of cover of my new book of poetry. My publisher wanted me to redo the whole post. So, I have updated the entire post below, and also added the proposed book cover image. This entire post has been written using our company's A.I.
I do want to make a point about the book "Midnight's Children". I know that this book has won the Booker Prize and even the Booker of Bookers, but for the life of me, I cannot understand why it is so great. If the author really wanted to be fair to his readers, he would have done better to have just attached a graphic novel version of at least the first fifty pages of the book. Because, honestly, I kept losing the plot of the book as I went through it. Plus, I kept falling asleep, lol.
Il doit y avoir un moyen de raconter une histoire qui rende l’ensemble du processus élégant et simple. There has to be a way to tell a story that makes the whole process elegant and simple. This is just me, but I don't really his writing style all that elegant. Cela ressemble à un conteur plutôt étrange qui propose de nous raconter une histoire mais le lecteur ne peut même pas la comprendre facilement. It seems like a rather odd storyteller who proposes to tell us a story but the reader cannot even easily understand it.
If someone can please tell me in a few brief sentences why this is a major innovation in any sense of the term, I would be much obliged. If you look at the realm of intellectual property, you will see how people try to innovate in all sorts of areas where it really matters. That, to me, is real innovation.
Best regards,
Anand
