About this title

Synopsis

Essef - Bizarre corporation Intangibles Inc. are represented by a small bespectacled man with a very long face, who travels about selling his product to people who don't really know what an intangible is but whose lives are gradually dominated by the presence of an Intangible in their homes. Such is the theme of the title story in this collection of five novellas, which also include 'Send Her Victorious' - featuring a psychiatrist who believes he is the Emperor Franz Joseph and a client posing as Freud; and 'Since the Assassination' - about a president with a drug-pushing wife and a schizoid son.
