A sharp copy of the experimental author's third novel, written in Tangier and inspired by Burroughs's Naked Lunch. "The book takes its title from the classic Dada-Surrealist parlor game each of whose players in turn draws a sector of the human body on a pleated piece of paper – so that no one can know, until it is unfolded, what creature of joy or terror will emerge" (from front flap).
