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. This first
American edition brings to a new audience a literary masterpiece
which was originally published in 1958 by Olympia Press in Paris;
and, in fact, Maurice Girodias, who was also responsible for first
issuing Lolita and The Ginger Man, claimed that I Hear Voices was
the book that gave him the greatest pleasure to publish.
