Cardboard: An Illustrated Fiction

"Cardboard" is usually a pejorative word. When we set sail on a cruise, we are disappointed if our dinner companions at the Captain's table are "cardboard" characters. On the other hand, when the cruise arrives in port and the ivory triangle of Fuji or Denali stands up looking flat above the horizon, we enjoy its seeming to be a cardboard cutout. On balance, we crave reality in the round, even though ever more of that roundness is supplied through media simulations.Niederer, Carl is the author of 'Cardboard: An Illustrated Fiction', published 1999 under ISBN 9780967635804 and ISBN 0967635802.
