"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)
Records the author's response to human violence and carnality in
this fable of the ancient world and pre-Columbian America.
