Scope and Contents

This novel deals with self-revelations of an American academic who is trying to write an introduction for a book that he has just completed, "Guilt and Innocence in Hutler's Germany." The book can be opened to almost any page and read as fragments of self-contained poetry. It has many Joycean elements in its presentation. This version of the book has a collaged yellow Jewish star on page 30 with the inscription "JUDE" whereas the purchased version on its release did not. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
