Fiction. "In stories that travel from the cultural center of Europe to the primitive heart of the Amazon, Garber inhabits a charged historical moment to probe--and play with--deep intellectual and aesthetic dualities: art and science, genius and madness, passion and polite society. VIENNA OO is a delicious Mobius strip of a book that examines the contradictions of the human mind and spirit. A feast"--Ron Maclean.
