The theme of the novel is announced in a poem by Ursula Vaughan Williams that refers to a musical composition 'Les Barricades Mysterieuses' by Francois Couperin (1668-1733) a French composer/musician. If I understand it: There is an imprecision in Couperin's musical notation so that the recapture of the orginal playing is challenging and yet impossible. In modern performances classical guitar and mandolin do variations on Couperin's original viol. This, in turn, suggests a commentary on the experience of reincarnation. Or something.

565. Malamud, Bernard. THE FIXER.. Pocket Books. (July 1976. Paperback. 12mo. Good. 6th printing of paperback edition. 306pp. A little color change in paper. I believe this is a fictionalized version of an actual case but I can't give a reference. A young Jewish handyman (Yakov Bok--the fixer) in a bad way after his wife runs off with another man, moves to his local city (to improve himself) where he is accused falsely of ritual murder. The local authorities, morally supported by the Tzar, know who committed the crime but persist in persecuting Bok. He is kept incommunicado in solitary under very harsh conditions. The few Ukrainians (a liberal lawyer and a guard) who try to help him are killed. He resists giving a false confession because that would implicate the local Jewish community and be used to mount a murderous physical attack upon it. A grim and, in a few scenes, grotesque book. High points: Bok's wife returns with her natural child by another man and wants to take up with Bok again. And as Bok is finally carted toward court for his trial a bomb is thrown at him injuring one of his guards. All of this haoppens around 1911, a few years before World War I and the Russian Revolution. Resisting oppressive evil ain't easy.

Gilt design and lettering on front cover and spine. 304pp. Slight nick in rear panel of dust jacket. Quote from Univ. of Delaware Library 'The Irving Rosenthal Papers 1963-1967' website: 'Born in 1930, American editor and author Irving Rosenthal is counted among the Beats, a group of young writers in the 50s and 60s known for their bohemian lifestyles and rebellion against the then popular art forms. Though he published only one major novel, Sheeper, and has not been remembered as a major Beat writer, American novelist and poet Gilbert Sorrentino in a 1994 interview with Alexander Laurence cited Rosenthal as one of the most compelling of the Beats. Before writing Sheeper, Rosenthal edited the Chicago Review. He was responsible for publishing the first chapters ever offered of William Burroughs' Naked Lunch, which he edited with Allen Ginsberg. When the Chicago Review issue containing those chapters was censored, Rosenthal left the Chicago Review and founded Big Table. He stayed long enough to publish the censored issue; he then left Big Table to Paul Carroll's control and moved to Morocco in 1963. In Morocco, Rosenthal became involved with a Moroccan named Mohammed ben Abdullah Yussufi, who was later killed by Moroccan police. Deeply affected by the loss of his friend, Rosenthal began writing Sheeper. He hoped that his novel would reveal the true cause of Mohammed's death and serve as a memorial to him. Rosenthal remained in Morocco for at least a year, during which time he pored over the manuscript for the novel and maintained steady correspondence with American editor, poet, and filmmaker Ira Cohen. At first under Cohen's direction, parts of the novel began to be published in small magazines in the United States and abroad. The entire novel was published by Grove Press in 1967.' From Morocco, Rosenthal went to Athens before returning to New York in 1964.
