Life is at bottom indestructibly powerful and pleasurable Notes List of Illustrations"ReviewsThe work is a literary masterpiece of sorts. Perhaps the greatest strength lies in the powerful descriptions of what Krell experiences and encounters during his life of solitude, a solitude that seems to intensify rather than dilute the attunement to life. I found it to be a compelling, at times spellbinding, read. - Walter A.
