Expelled from Eden

"Here is a long-awaited "best-of" collection, intended both as an introduction for the curious reader, and as a necessary addition to the existing fan's collection. With excerpts from all of Vollmann's novels (including several not yet published), journalistic pieces, essays, correspondence, and poetry, Expelled from Eden creates a portrait of one of America's most notorious, protean, devastating, and necessary writers."--Jacket.
