| Summary: | One of the lost classics of the 1960s - and a legendary experiment in form - published in the U.S. for the first time. B.S. Johnson's famous 'book in a box', in which the chapters are presented unbound, to be read in any order the reader chooses, is one of the key works of a novelist now undergoing an enormous revival of interest. It is a book of passionate honesty and dark courageous humor: a meditation on death and a celebration of friendship which also offers a remarkably frank self-portrait of its author. |
