Author John Passfield contemplates writing a novel about the mythological figure Cassandra. Suddenly, he finds himself in the presence of her tormentor, Apollo, the god who -- seemingly as a whim -- has brought a catastrophic curse down on the head of an innocent human. John sees Cassandra as a mythical creature whose helpless situation epitomizes all that is wrong on the planet Earth. What a chance to confront a representative of the gods, ask him to explain such actions, and demand an immediate end to all the agony in the world!
Special Bonus
This edition of Fair Is Fair includes a special bonus -- a 56-stanza poem by "John the Character," in which John reflects on his encounters with Apollo and Cassandra in verses at once humorous, whimsical, and sometimes angry.
