I HEAR VOICES [The Olympia Press Traveller's Companion Series No. 102]
ABLEMAN, Paul

Book Description: Olympia Press, London, 1966. Paperback. Book Condition: Vg-. First U.K. Edition. 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. A novel about schizophrenia. At once confined and liberated by his madness, the hero and narrator of I Hear Voices takes us on journeys through his private, transfigured city. The vehicle is his own deranged mind, fueled by the absurdities of modern life. Lovers of Beckett and Ionesco will recognize much in Paul Abelman's world, where the fantastic and the real coexist in a hilarious, disquieting detente. Originally published in 1958 by Olympia Press in Paris; Maurice Girodias claimed that it was the book that gave him the greatest pleasure to publish.
