This is the third volume in a trilogy of fables (and parables) by Steven Carter. Carter's butterflies are naive, worldly, sarcastic, philosophical, and very funny—in short, perfectly human!
To their credit, Steven Carter's books make honorable attempts to shore against our ruins a devotion to the powers of erudition, critical analysis, and judgment. In the words of Ezra Pound in Canto LXXXI, 'Here error is all in the not done, all in the diffidence that faltered. . .' For Steven Carter, these are words to live by. -- Edwin J. Barton, Bakersfield College
Exquisite. -- Glenn Lucke, University of Virginia
Steven Carter's triumph is to have established a sort of universal ethic of 'how to be,' while promoting at the same time a holistic view of human beings in individual social, cultural, and psychological contexts. -- Amelia de Moura Tavares, University of Lisbon
Steven Carter has acquitted himself well. -- James Geary, author of All Aphorisms, All The Time and Geary's Guide to the World's Great Aphorists
