THE CASE HISTORY OF COMRADE V. A NOVEL. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1972. Octavo, cloth. First edition. "Patient and psychiatrist present divergent views of reality. Comrade V. first appears as a political prisoner undergoing therapy designed to refashion his identity -- each day he is provided with a fresh computer printout containing his 'case history.' However, one is compelled to entertain the possibility that Comrade V. is indeed schizophrenic. The very notion of sanity dissolves in a tangled web of unresolved ambiguity." - Mowshowitz, 310. A chilling intellectual thriller by the author of WAR GAMES, a well-received Vietnam War novel. Not in Reginald (1979; 1992). A fine copy in very good dust jacket with some rubbing to black background ink, mainly at spine ends and corner tips. (#151948).
