Author's first book. "Since my subject matter is inevitably my own life, my own obsessions, possessions and renunciations, I stay fairly close to a few subjects. I want to go in and into these subjects as far as I can, rather than skirting or skimming them. My principal aim is to take myself and my reader beyond the point where the writing is thought of as literature to where it will become a part of experience." (from the dustjacket).
