Summary:

The follow-up to the critically acclaimed "No. 111, Fidget" ruthlessly documents every movement made by Goldsmith's body on Bloomsday (June 16) 1997 from 10 am to 11 pm. Literary critic Marjorie Perloff compares "Fidget" to 'a Beckett prose text, ' and says many witty and intelligent things about it in her afterword.
