Beet that

[desperance]

Here he is, then, since you asked: the Beet of That Ilk, the Emperor of Beets, arrayed in amaranthine to his eternal glory, with captive conquered inferior beets at his root and a copy of Dispossession for scale (and for a marketing opportunity, as I may now remind you that Dispossession will be published in e-format(s) by Book View Cafe on the 23rd inst, so that's a thing).
