THE JOKE ESCAPED THE BOOK
A classification becomes policy.
The BS/AS conceit begins inside The First Fault-Line, where the Pi Council reclassifies earlier literature and establishes a new calendar. The later fiction asks what happens when an Academy accepts the proposal literally.
The Committee Address
The institution announces that its annual recognition system has become inadequate and reorganizes literary history accordingly.
The Last Book Published Before Literature Began
Agnes Pell is ordered to relabel the library. Swift disputes his own signature. Characters from across the writing arrive as exhibits. A child waits outside while the Academy discusses the meaning of thresholds.
