       both as an introduction for the curious reader, and as a 
       necessary addition to the existing fan's collection. With 
       excerpts from all of Vollmann's novels (including several 
       not yet published), journalistic pieces, essays, 
       correspondence, and poetry, Expelled from Eden creates a 
       portrait of one of America's most notorious, protean, 
       devastating, and necessary writers."--Jacket.
