Scope and Contents

A critical analysis of this work was written by Jack Foley in the book taken from this manuscript that was published by The Running Spoon Press in 1994. Foley pointed out that the text was Kabbalistic in its content. Thus, Foley states that there are many pathways through Brambu Drezi, a neologism for "in the beginning." Jake's genius turns in many directions--polytropin. He praises the scholarly references in the text and the integration of the verbal imagery. I (MAS) find that any portion of the text can be enjoyed for the richness of the language and imagery without reading it from beginning to end. It appears to me that sequencing in this work is not an important issue. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
