"I don’t care for this," he said as if he were talking to himself-- "at all. Not that I mind your being here-- I don’t. You’re quite a pretty little thing, but I don’t like Charlie Moon’s sending you up here. Am I a laboratory experiment on which the janitors as well as the chemists can make experiments? Is my intellectual development humorous in any way? Do I look like the pictures of the little Boston boy in the comic magazines? Has that callow ass, Moon, with his eternal tales about his week in Paris, any right to.

One evening in 1952, a young woman walked down to the Mekong River carrying her baby boy in a homemade basket. She lit a candle and stood it in the basket, then set her baby adrift on the stream. Miraculously, the child was rescued by a fisherman and taken to a Catholic mission on the island of Cu Lao Gieng. The little boy was named Ty, meaning "billion,", because his chances of surviving were a billion to one. This is the story of that one-in-a-billion chance.

This book is a wild burst of poetic originality that freely acknowledges the even greater originality of poetic giants of the past. Nonetheless, the author uses wit and wisdom, and even false modesty, to poetically expound on a surprising variety of subjects that may well delight, amuse, challenge, and even inspire those who are willing to open themselves to new experiences.
