+1 Galastel. This prologue has no purpose, readers don't care who wrote a book, and you say this makes no difference in the book itself. If it were a 1st person book, this is not needed; the MC wrote it. If it is a 3rd person limited book about the MC Mary, then trying to explain who wrote it is likely to break the reading reverie; and it is unimportant. It looks to me like you, the author, are trying to apologize to the reader or give them a heads up that you are about to tell a weird story. Perhaps asking them to not give up on it, because it is weird. **_Don't do it._** Just tell a weird story, or if you truly think it is not entertaining as it stands or cannot be followed as it stands, then fix your story so it isn't so weird.
