description: \nA Dante/Beckett reduction of human struggle to its lowest common denominator.--Michael Mirolla, author of The Formal Logic of Emotion and Berlin\n \nOne of the most original and thought-provoking stories I have ever read...true literary art...Not a word is wasted in this masterpiece.

What's left is comedy, retrospection, betrayal, tenderness, meditations on loneliness, a love story that survives all attempts to suppress it . . . not bad within 149 pages.--Barnstable Patriot\n \nMichael S.
