Umm..... from an outsider perspective this is starting to seem like an author roast of some sort. A very weird and unique work.I honestly still don't know what to make of this.

Sorry for being confusing. The book is not a roast, because no one is out to make fun of Dave. It is, though, a tribute, a festschrift in honor of Dave and his work. So, each author in it wrote a story that for them in some way tied to Dave. Does that help?
