"One night in
1960, I
felt the world
more threatened than it had ever
been ...
It
became crucial to me to
impose order and meaning upon
my present life and my past life. So

began my account ..." "James
McConkey has an extraordinary
gift for weaving together the in–
cidents of his life and for turning
inanimate objects into symbols of
his joys and fears." -MALcoLM
COWLEY.
"A
very special kind of
book •.. so special and nearly
unique that it seems hard to
be.
