The cases are two #84

This book generator is about people, animals and choices.
The idea arises from a game of eloquence I did weekly, about thirty years ago, when I practiced with my fellow salesmen to develop the creativity and strengthen the ability to link words and ideas, each others.

To realize The cases are two, I used some interesting works already published on the web and mostly on GitHub:



the cover is based on the main layout of my twitter-bot BIBLIOTECA POSSIBILE that looks like the italian book series Piccola Biblioteca Adelphi with one of 120 Pablo Caran d'Ache colors available on Pablo's Inspirations another twitter-bot that I made.
Moreover, Gabriele Odrigiani, the narrator is a fictional character that I invented for the novel that I am writing in a traditional way.
To implement the chapters I used the clever Kate Compton's Tracery and I've populated the grammar with some parts of the beautiful Darius Kazemi's Corpora.
Finally I created an html The cases are two book-like generator made with small changes of the useful Zach Whalen's Bookery that can give a 50k+ words new brand book to every user at anytime.
Finally, I've copyed and pasted the html output in a wordprocessor and I saved a pdf version of the artworks I present to NaNoGenMo 2018.

Now, the cases are two: you will read it or not. If you'll not read the book, it's okay, but if you'll go to read it, let me know and leave your impressions about The cases are two on NaNoGenMo 2018.
Enjoy your reading.

Really liked the idea. Is it possible for me to use parts of your grammar for a last-minute NaNoGenMo entry? I really liked reading the first sentence of every "section" int his book, and I want to see whether a novel could stand on its own with only using the first sentences (and the aforismi).

Ops, last-second may be! Of course tra38 feel free to use it.
