Anonymous, among
the greatest scribes ever to have put pen to paper,
has graced the literary canon with such masterpieces as Hymns
to Inanna, the Old Testament, Beowulf, Njal's Saga, the Book of
Songs, and other brilliant and uplifting works. Unfortunately,
even Anonymous has had a few bad days along the way, subjecting an
unsuspecting public to such drivel as Primary
Colors, "The Song of Roland," and any number of French
detective novels. But, all in all, it has
been a good run. Back in top form, our elusive author now tackles
the Age of Anxiety with a deft, hilarious, and sardonic indictment of
contemporary censorship in the face of new technology.
