Arrange P, Q, R, S between A and B, to give the Correct sequence of the book review given below.

A: Shane Jones' 'Light Boxes' was first published by a small independent press, Publishing Genius Press, in Baltimore in 2009. It became critical success. Penguin picked it up, and gave it a wider release earlier this year.

P: After an abortive attempt to fly a kite in defiance of February's orders. Thaddeus is approached by a group calling themselves ?The solution?. They wear plastic bird masks to remind them of what they have lost. They are organizing a revolution. As Bianca and then Selah are taken away from him, Thaddeus becomes the main figure in the war against February.

Q:The scenes of organized revolt form a reasonably coherent narrative, but things are complicated by the interspersing of snippets of February?s life in his cottage in the woods. These scenes make February?s relationship with the town rather ambiguous and, as a result, it is difficult to attempt any sort of unifiled reading of the novel. Is this a story about rebellion? A story about narrative/ A story about depression? It lends itself to all of these theories and more, and then flits away at the last moment.

R: February has taken over the town. February is eternal winter. February is a god figure in the sky. February is a man who writes in a house in the woods. Whatever he is, February is destructive and must be fought.

S: Light Boxes begins with February's ban on flight. He sends his priests into the town to burn hot air balloons and paper aero planes, and to destroy anything else that flies. Thaddeus Lowe, a former balloonist, and his wife Selah and daughter Bianca revolt against these conditions. They paint balloons in hidden corners, and kites all the way up Bianca's arms.

B: Light Boxes is an odd little book and one that is beautiful and baffling and wonderfully crafted. Jones experiments with different ways of using text. Font size varies wildly, some pages will only carry one line, and there are lists and recipes and diagrams and the like.
