...organizer of Steiner's posse is careful to warn his agents by radio not to let their prisoner speak while they march him out of the jungle. "When He made the Word, God made possible also its contrary," says Emmanuel Lieber, who is apparently modeled on Wiesenthal. "He created on the night side of language a speech for hell ... There shall come a man who ... will know the grammar of hell and teach it to others. He will know the sounds of madness and loathing and make them seem music...
