Records the author's response to human violence and carnality in this fable of the ancient world and pre-Columbian America.
Industry Reviews
"English is dead...[we] call Caliban's brutal jargon the American language" leads off Dahlberg's introduction to this elephantine coupling of The Sorrows of Priapus (1957) and The Carnal Myth (1968). Fabling, forensics, "waggery" and discourse on man and myth, in a prose which shakes the fields of asphodel. (Kirkus Reviews)
