Book Synopsis
This is the first book length study of Norman O. Brown's large scale works from /Heremes the Thief/ to /Closing Time/. Delving into the complex writing, David Greenham explains Brown to a larger audience while also exploring the relationship between Brown's writings and those of his better-known contemporary, Herbert Marcuse.

Trade Review
A fine work. Greenham has beyond doubt found the right point of entry into Nobby's work and he's sufficiently polymath to delineate it...so enjoyable to read. This could be a crucial element in getting the conversation going. -- Jay Cantor, Tufts University
