A hilarious, ground-breaking and insightful novel, Glyph
successfully blends the feverish plot of a thriller with the
philosophical depth of Barthes. Narrated by a baby genius Ralph; a
baby with an IQ of 475, who is much more at home with the
post-modernist thought of Voltaire than reading Goldilocks and the
Three Bears. However, word soon spreads about this miracle gift,
and Ralph is soon kidnapped and held hostage by a child
psychologist, who runs tests on him. What follows is a number of
successive kidnaps, and a linguistic adventure unlike any other.
