This is about a book that is yet to be published. For all I know it
has been written but the author and publisher cannot agree on a title.
The inspiration for the book came from The Picture of Dorian Gray.
But in this case, instead of being set in an English room with a
portrait of a mad (?) man, it is set in a cabin in the Pacific
Northwest.
The title: The Carver's Cabin.
Some
weeks ago, passing articles back and forth with a reader, the
eagle-eyed reader spotted this -- "... a two-story carver's cabin had
been built."
Neither of us had heard of a carver's
cabin and no amount of googling provided an answer. Overnight I heard
from the reader. Apparently she was losing sleep over this issue. She
e-mailed the writer of that newspaper article asking for the "meaning"
of a carver's cabin.
Well, duh. It's a cabin in which one carvers.
LOL.
Actually, it's so much more and so much more specific and so much more interesting.
It turns out to be a cabin -- at least in this story and in the Pacific Northwest -- where totem poles are carved.
To wit:

Only one thing could have made this video better: a cameo appearance by "the log lady" from Twin Peaks.
