  • "Un des plus importants romans des années 1960, par le plus mystérieux, et le plus commenté sur les campus, des écrivains américains. Dans le sillage de Kerouac et de Salinger."
  • "Herbert Stencil, le héros, ne parle de lui qu'à la 3e personne et lit de temps à autre des passages du journal intime laissé par son père, mort dans d'étranges circonstances, à Malte. La mention d'un(e) certain(e) V intrigue Stencil, qui se lance alors à la recherche de son identité. Roman paru en 1963."
  • "Having just been released from the Navy, Benny Profane is content to lead a slothful existence with his friends, where the only real ambition is to perfect the art of "schlemihlhood," or being a dupe, and where "responsibility" is a dirty word. Among his pals--called the Whole Sick Crew--is Slab, an artist who can't seem to paint anything other than cheese danishes. But Profane's life changes dramatically when he befriends Stencil, an active ambitious young man with an intriguing mission--to find out the identity of a woman named V [Victoria Wren], who knew Stencil's father during the war, but who suddenly and mysteriously disappeared."

  • "In den Notizen des verstorbenen Vaters entdeckt Herbert Stencil das rätselhafte Symbol V. Er und Benny Profane, der andere Held des Romans, begeben sich auf die Suche nach ihm, die sich zu einer burlesken, aktionsreichen "tour de force" entwickelt. Die Handlung spielt in einem von der ehemaligen Afrikakolonie Deutsch-Südwest über Malta, Florenz und Paris bis nach Venezuela reichenden totalitären Weltstaat, in dem Begebenheiten aus der Geschichte und Vergangenheit dreier Kontinente vorsätzlich als geheimnisvolle, dunkle Machenschaften, als eine Verschwörung von globalem Ausmass dargestellt werden."
  • "Follows the orbits of old acquaintances headed for a less than harmonic convergence in Northern California in 1984."@en
  • "The wild, macabre tale of the twentieth century and of two men--one looking for something he has lost, the other with nothing much to lose--and "V.," the unknown woman of the title."@en
  • "Donation trade."
