An underground train of thought. A roadside prairie in an old corner of France was home to Ralph's great-uncle, who sold him the house. There is a garage with a new and revolutionary philosophy, and Saul, who knows dreams that go back hundreds of years. Ralph does not know he is in the middle of a storm called municipal restructuring. Last year the prairie was forgotten, an oversight, and now they have to face the consequences. If they do not stick to their dreams, and believe in the new technology, they may lose the place forever. Carmine Vermilion has 23 chapters plus an appendix, and 185.542 words. Every chapter starts with a dream in italics, and the revolutionary philosophy, which combines Projective Geometry with the International System of Units, takes up one tenth of the book, half of which is in the appendix, which is a narrative, and has no mathematical symbols. This is not another book about New Orleans, whatever the author may have told you.
