Life as Fiction and Language

Your skit reminded me so much of the Alchemist. Especially the twelve-step program part. As a fellow blogger said before, Coehlo's novel reads just like a self-help manual, as did your skit. I thought you played your parts well and the idea of illusion was really prominent. Every one of your characters was under some illusion, sure that they were playing the leading roles of their lives. The self-help program seemed to me to represent the reading of the story, the eradication of the illusion, or the realization that what they were performing was, in fact, fiction.
