Every night furtive little bands of Communist guerrillas, dressed in black peasant pajamas or faded khakis, splash through the marshes of the Mekong Delta or dart silently along jungle paths of South Viet Nam, pursuing their intent, murderous missions.

Then, at a signal from their leader, they raised their ancient rifles, clubs and swords and pounced with bloodcurdling cries.

Apparently, Iraq's General Abdul Karim Kassem had thought he was only offering an Arab pleasantry when he announced his intent to "liberate" oil-rich Kuwait. He was amazed when alarm bells went off all over the Middle East.

What makes the novel fascinating, nevertheless, is its curiously romantic assertion of modern literature's most popular legend-that the world is a conspiracy intent on destroying the poet by pulling him from "the Oedipal throne of his loneliness and art." In other times, poets died simply of starvation or of drink or in barroom brawls or at the hands of their mistresses' husbands. Now, if they abide by literary rules, they must succumb...
