A SIMILE AMISS IS GOOD FOR A SMILE
In an age of virtual reality, alternative reality, and unreality, similes can deepen our awareness of the tensions between similitude, verisimilitude, and dissimilitude. If this is confusing, you need exposure to the treasures in this book.
Dyssimilitude is defined here by example, since the word doesn’t appear (yet) in any dictionary. Each dyssimile in this book merits its own page, like a facial mole that draws attention and merits focused concentration and admiration. That was a bonus dyssimile, in case you missed it.
Dyssimiles can take your mind where it’s never been, as well as where it doesn’t usually want to be. They are best appreciated slowly and in moderation. No trigger warnings are provided, and readers who experience dysphoria should explore the reasons with a good therapist.
Attempts to illustrate these dyssimiles failed. Those expecting visual diversion should realize that this is, after all, a unique work of literature for serious writers and readers.
