In this creative and innovative work Creel Froman establishes a fascinatingly new way of looking at human behavior. His principal themes are: What does life mean? How do we arrive at answers to such a question? What is the answer? In a skillful blending of fiction and scholarship, using dialogue, prose, and poetry, he makes his points regarding the human condition and how we come to know about it.
The book is made up of two parts: the ?manuscript” of Hugo Potts?a five-act play interspersed with letters, poems, and notes?and, second, the ?life” of Hugo Potts?a professor of sociology ?his career, love, marriage, and developing intellectual life. The two parts provide a fascinating story with brilliant insights and profound conclusions.
A unique and mind-expanding book, addressed to general interested readers as well as students of social sciences, humanities, and fine arts.
