About This Item
NY: Farrar Straus Giroux , 1967. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/None. Hardcover, tight copy. Black boards with white cloth spine. Clean, no dust jaxket. Blending realism and dream, Susan Sontag's second novel offers a passionate exploration of the recesses of the American conscience. The novel is a narrative of the suffering of Dalton 'Diddy' Harron, told through his own observations. He works in advertising for a microscope manufacturer, is thirty-three and divorced and a month ago tried to commit suicide. The haphazard events of his life, including killing a railway worker and falling in love with a blind girl, are brought to us through the lens of Diddy's own mind. We follow him through his journey to justify his actions and exorcise his inner demons. Record # 5947
