An author is offered a devil’s bargain: will he give up reading and writing books in exchange for total world domination?

Unable to escape one’s own thoughts

Originally written in 2013, this meta novella asks the author to choose between Magic and Literature. Are the two, in fact, the same? Or is Magic a transcendence of Literature? A quick, fun read that’s sitting with me the more I turn it over in my head.
