Aleksandar Hemon
Here's a neat little novelty from Aleksandar Hemon, author of Nowhere Man and The Question of Bruno. It's two short stories loosely based on Nowhere Man, under the title of The "Lost" Pronek Fantasies, in a booklet that you construct yourself. If you've never read Hemon, this is a good introduction to his fascinating prose. And if you're a fan like me, it's a tiny morsel to tide you over until his next novel comes out. (Whenever that might be--I haven't heard.)
If you attempt this, two suggestions:
1. Unless your printer automatically flips the paper for two-sided printing (which mine doesn't) you'll have to print out just the first page, flip it manually, then print out the second page followed by the instruction page.
2. Cut the top and bottom (Step 8) with a sharp knife from the inside along the crease, rather than with a scissors as indicated. It should come out much more cleanly this way.
Enjoy!
