Fragments of Lichtenberg

In just over half a century, Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742-1799) had the time to be all of the following: a hunchback, a mathematician, an electrical theorist, a skirt-chaser, an asthmatic, a hypochondriac, and the author of 8, 000 aphorisms. Certain scholars claim, however, that these writings are really the scattered pieces of a Great Novel, and this brilliant and polymorphous fiction by Pierre Senges tracks their attempts to piece that book together. The reader will also discover how a spinal column gets twisted, what happened to Snow White's eighth dwarf, how the CIA functions, how to burn down libraries, and how to get a lunar crater named after you.
