Notes

  • Epigraph: Laughter brings luck like throwing the dice and a smile is a prayer to paradise.
  • Author's note: 'Mudmaps to Paradise is a part funny, and part wistful collection of stories ... The stories are semi-continuous and integrate to create the effect of an impressionist novel. The stories are also united by three ironically religious frameworks: Sweet Notes From Limbo, Counterpoint From Purgatory, and Odes to Eden...'
  • Dedication: For Jutta, whose celestial dreams of paradise deserve so much better than these mere mudmaps.
