Audience

An autobiographical memoir of a harsh time when scientific authorities and cultural personalities were forced to work as stokers, diggers or rolling barrels at breweries. Sometimes a mere monologue of a dumb brewer can say more about the absurdity of an era than stacks of textbooks. But those who expect a story with a richly layered plot should turn elsewhere. Audience is more of a situational snack. Small but tasty. (2005.10.03)
