Description
Glyph A Novel by Percival Everett A satirical novel that combines the feverish plot of a thriller with the philosophical depth of literary theory. Baby Ralph, a mute and self-proclaimed non-genius, has a unique way of passing time in his crib. He reads voraciously and writes poems and stories, but his limits are soon tested when he is kidnapped by a psychiatrist and a Pentagon officer. Diabolically funny and lacerating in its critique of poststructuralism, Glyph is a novel that challenges conventional notions of intelligence and genius. With its complex plot and philosophical themes, this book will appeal to readers who enjoy literary fiction and satire.
