Oscar L. Zaid left this world with almost all its secrets, but he sent me the manuscript of a series of stories along with a letter urging me to illustrate and publish them. “Of course, it would have been preferable to have a first-rate illustrator,” he explained, “but I think I made a smart decision, since you are a third-rate professional and you will have the free time necessary to undertake this work.” My curiosity has always been stronger than my ego, so I got to work, being an enemy of those stupid self-help books that make you responsible for your unhappiness. After exhaustive research, a short documentary sheds some light on who this strange writer was who vindicated the freedom to leave this world by one's own decision and preached by example.

You can find the book in hardcover or Kindle here.
