Carousel

"Carousel" was freely adapted from a from a loose draft resulting from computer-aided analyses [using Brekdown] of letter-group frequencies in two samples of text, one from Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer and the other from Yasunari Kawabata's The Master of Go. The index and frequency tables from these analyses were then blended, and the draft text regenerated from the resulting combination. First published in the 1998 print book _Different Hands_, the story was later posted to the web by the author.
