Bleeding Edge is on Amazon

[Markekohut]

Hey, all.....consider the genre...that is consider the " genre" of "Product Description" for a title listing. that is what this is....yes, not a genre but understand the purpose which, as Pierce or James (W) might say, is meaning here. 

Have you looked at other Product Descriptions? 

This is a witty verbal trailer. A tease of semi-direction to say something but leave mysteriously wide open.

If a map is not the territory, a trailer is not the movie....

Yet: TRP uses an uncommon phrase, makes " to IPO" a verb.....show me another Product Description that does anything close.

And, he makes fine wit with a phrase w deeper meaning for we heavy readers---Karmic and secular balance---and yet  meaning for any new and occasional readers...( karma is used by
Almost everyone...it's a blanket meme....

His light touch is wonderful, in my opinion, but I am a noted sometimes-projective fanboy.
