Here's how it begins:
Thomas Henson has many issues. Many. M.A.N.Y. Here we shall examine
thirteen of them. Yes, a baker’s dozen…or a witch’s coming-of-age. No doubt our
doubting Thomas will throw arms with hands up in horror if he hears we aim to
halt our examination (dissection?) of him at this sweet little number known as
13.
These mighty swords of doom (what we call issues), by his reckoning, are
the fault of: one- his parents (for they named him); two- the world at large
(society is judgmental and downright mean); and three- his neighbour (the
laughing bastard).
You see, Thomas Henson despises his name, and that is ISSUE ONE.
Fine, he can claim he is named for Thomas
Aquinas, a philosopher in history’s annals. (One should always relate to great
figures; others’ successes can therefore become one’s own successes.) Thomas
Aquinas, however, had the good fortunate to be born Tommaso...why, oh, why
wasn’t he Tommaso? .jpg)
(even the cover is meant to be tongue-in-cheek!)
