Description

"My mattress,
Once soft and welcoming,
Now threatened to swallow me whole.
The finely aged wine I had had earlier
Curdled into a pool of acid
Deep at the bottom of my stomach.''

- 'Hotel, ' The Beetles in the Walls

Imagine for a second that you could taste words. Sounds strange, doesn't it?

But imagine, for a moment, that you had the ability to taste words and you could get a taste of the words written in this book.

This book would taste exactly like dark chocolate, bitter and sweet at the same time.

Bittersweet.
