A new edition of the classic novel by Douglas LePan.
Returned from the ravages of war, met with a city that offers him only despair,
a young man finds himself caught between two opposing worlds - the ordered but
empty everyday life of "schedules and obligations," and the hellish chaos of the
city's underside, a dark world of brutality and vice. Gripped with a restless
passion for perfection, haunted by a brief and idealized experience of love, the
hero of this poetic, experimental novel lives out in a modern context that most
universal of myths: the descent into the underworld to experience initiations
and ordeals, and the return with new understanding to the upper world.
