-- First paperback edition.
-- Jason is a scriptwriter working on a film about Masada -- the
fortress where a thousand Jews killed themselves rather than submit
to Roman occupation in AD 73 -- who doubts a film both popular and
honest on the subject can be made. Unfolding over the course of an
airline flight, alternating between the perspectives of Jason, in
first class with the film people, and his wife Lilia, in tourist
class with their child, and intercut with the film script itself,
Serpent is a modernist, elliptical masterpiece on the complex
relationship between life and art.
-- Serpent is the third book in the "Catastrophe Practice Series",
which also includes Catastrophe Practice, Judith, Imago Bird, and
Hopeful Monsters.
-- First U.S. edition by Dalkey Archive ('90).
