New York, NY – In an unexpected twist of literary classification, the memoirs of former Environment Minister Reginald Stokely have soared to the top of the fantasy genre at a leading national bookseller. The memoir, ambitiously titled “The Green Mirage: My Role in Saving the Natural World,” reportedly found its newfound classification due to a minor database error, according to the retailer. However, critics and readers alike suggest it might be more of a genre fit than initially presumed.
Stokely’s account, detailing his illustrious career as an advocate for environmental policies that largely remained on paper, paints a vivid picture of an untainted Earth teeming with digital wildlife and chlorinated streams. Experts explicating the misclassification argue that these lush depictions closely parallel any high fantasy canopy worth its bark. Dr. Beryl Lichen, a professor of literature at New Tranquility University, noted, “It’s clear that Stokely’s imagination rivals even the most imaginative authors, picturing a planet of unprecedented verdancy without so much as a recycling bin in sight.”
The memoir spans three decades, a timeline during which Stokely allegedly initiated several programs that aimed to reduce carbon footprints to nothing more than a size nine shoe — all while promoting a groundbreaking ‘Inaction Plan’ which experts joke could only be rivaled by the likes of idioms and theoretical particle physics. Stokely writes of secret biomes hidden within uncharted political paperwork and rare species of fiscal resources, protected only by red tape.
Amused but concerned, fantasy authors have expressed a modicum of displeasure over the memoir’s mysterious rise. Noted fantasy writer Elspeth Thorn declared, “I spent years crafting a saga of mythical proportions, complete with dragons who pay their taxes and knights bound by eco-agreements. And yet, a 300-page ode to hypothetical environmental success is challenging my rightful place tilling the fields of fiction.”
Curiously, Barnes & Noboll Retailers have since encountered a surge in memoir sales coupled with an unprecedented return of their fantasy bestsellers that prominently feature Stokely’s likeness brandishing an emerald leaf emblem and a treasure map hinting at energy renewables of unimaginable bounty.
Ordinary citizens also find themselves entangled in the memoir’s unfolding saga. Readers like Mabel Forsyth, who intended to explore more traditional realities of romance involving imaginary carbon companions, report finding solace in the wholly mythic optimism Stokely exudes. “It’s the first time my commute has been improved by reading about hypothetical clean air,” she remarked without irony, despite cycling through traffic shrouded in city smoke.
As the closing page of Stokely’s memoir gently suggests, the former minister concludes with a potent, albeit fantastical, vision: All doors can lead to greener pastures if truly never opened. And thus, the fitting irony of a fantasy-laden memoir rests comfortably in its category, indicating that sometimes life imitating fantasy might not be too far-fetched after all.
