of Disorder is a novelette by Rhys Hughes, composed by two different tales, Or maybe not.
The Candid Slyness of Scurrility Forepaws
Dont be polite, Dont be good. The world is evil. If you are innocent, then you are weak, you are exposed to the injustice of society, But you have a chance: try to increase the chaos in the world, This is what Scurrility Forepaws had learned from his father, And this what he is trying to do, But remember that: trying to be evil is not so easy, because you cant predict the effect of you behavior, Never.
The Ghost Written Autobiography of a Disembodied Spirit
Do you think you are alive Are you sure Toby Knott, an obituary
writer, is not.
Well, he was. But when his wife broke up with him, she said: “You are dead to me”, And since that moment, he is sure to be dead, Why not If you have an answer, please follow his adventure and try it out, Two tales and two characters swinging between being absurd and surreal, written with such an astonishing and rare humor that this novelette really worths to be read.
Eh eh. Fantastico come Hughes annodi pazientemente i fili della trama fino a formare una rete che sembrano due, La prima è costruita con un paradosso intorno a Scurrility Forepaws dalla quale il protagonista si libererà con un furbesco colpo di reni.
La seconda, invece, è rappresentata da un groviglio logorroico che sarà fatale a Toby Knott,
Trovo questo racconto apprezzabile per la raffinatezza degli intrecci logici, organizzati come un ipertesto ma a lettura sequenziale, "Ma in breve tempo misi da parte una somma sufficiente a trasformare in realtà il sogno che tanto a lungo avevo covato.
Fondai una rivista. Questo era il mio capolavoro di cattiveria, la mia apoteosi, "
Una rivista, un capolavoro di cattiveria, Ma certo che questo non è il cuore della storia! La questione è che Scurrility Forepaws ha ascoltato suo padre, un giorno, "Il mondo è un posto caotico e infelice", ha detto il vecchio, E nell'insegnare al figlio a stare al mondo gli ha dato dei consigli, . . be', scoprite voi quali. Preparatevi a sentire di malefatte e perfidie, della vita e della morte di un vero marrano, di quelli come al mondo non se ne trovano più.
Nessuno di voi si stupisca nello scoprire che, in realtà, il mondo ne è pieno, . .

"Una simile situazione farsesca non è oltre i limiti della possibilità.
In fondo, ecco cosè questo nostro mondo, il palcoscenico perfetto per ridicoli errori di stato e di essenza, " "But soon I had raised enough capital to turn my carefully nurtured dream into a reality, I founded a magazine. This was my unique piece of mischief, my apotheosis, "
A magazine, an unique piece of mischief, No, sure, this is not the story's main event, The fact is that Scurrility Forepaws listened to his father, once, "The world is a chaotic and unhappy place," he said, And while teaching his son how to behave he gave him certain advices that, . . well, you're going to discover them, Be prepared to hear about mischiefs and wicked acts, about life and death of a true Rapscallion, like no others in the world.
Don't be surprised finding out that this is not exactly true, . .
