A bizarre, experimental tale reminiscent of Beckett in its seamless entry into the world of the angst-ridden. A classic of experimental literature of the late 60s and early 70s. "...Wurlitzer will convince you in this stunningly successful book that this really is the way the world ends -- not with a bang, and not with a whimper but with the light slowly covering all of us." ?Book World "...Very important in an evolutionary way, showing us directions we could be moving in. Rudolph Wurlitzer is really, really good." ?Thomas Pynchon
