...writer manque serving as his own narrator, he deliberately imposes no literary controls on history ("I offer little more than a disordered compilation of rough notes"); his unconscious is his only guide. Hence, even before Worthington gets to recall key cameos of himself-as a boy who once foolishly stole, as a young man who was once seduced by an older woman-there are overlong, superficial ruminations and cop-out digressions on the mechanics and nature of memory itself. Finally, in due meandering course, Worthington remembers a first wife who two-timed him and a second wife who two-timed...
...Okay, I can see leaving Gertrude Stein (straight) and Alice B. Toklas (soul) off your list, but Dear Abby (straight) and Ann Landers (soul) - unforgivable.

...sounded a hauntingly dissonant hymn by Danish Composer Per Norgard worthy of John Cage. Seated together with Sweden's octogenarian King Gustaf VI Adolf, was another secular guest, Zambia's President Kenneth Kaunda. The prayer was read by Tanzanian Evangelical Lutheran Bishop Josiah Kibira, resplendent in a stole whose tribal designs stood in dramatic contrast with its white silk background. The program for the 16-day conference included everything from Bible study to some readings from Bertolt Brecht's play St. Joan of the Stockyards...
...other from Greek mythology. Both involve modern man's reversal of his traditional beliefs and show how present desolation, ironically, was born in past faith. Expelled from the Garden of Eden, man was bereft; expelling God from the cosmos, modern man is equally bereft. The legendary Prometheus stole fire from the gods to give men life, light, art and wisdom...
