This novel - if you can call it a novel - blew my mind and my senses, when I read it. I struggle even to describe the experience. Every aspect of the work is impressive, from regarding it as a physical artifact (of art and design), to its contents, which sweeps across and weaves together so many different subjects and literary art forms. It's truly a singular piece of work. I was fortunate enough to acquire the original (and beautiful) hardcover edition, when it was first published. I believe those editions are now difficult to find. However, the paperback edition is still available. I also had the opportunity to correspond briefly with Mr. Tomasula via e-mail, and found him to be a very generous person. My only regret is that I didn't purchase a second hardcover copy when I had the opportunity. Below, a couple of pages from this wonderful book.
