"Copyright, 1936 by Benjamin DeCasseres."
"The essence of this book, the core of its thought, is that the Lie shall set you free. All is Fiction - which implies a Reality, forever hidden from us. It is written, like all I have written, in the many rhythms of my character, which I always obey. Every idea and epigram herein came to me spontaneously and was put down as it came ... I try to prove nothing. I try to disprove nothing. I record."--Foreword.
