Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Tower of Sand: And Other Stories
I have seen the compass-watch changing at midnight - Without pomp - one solitary, infinitesimal biped creeping down through the systems of wheeling penumbrae, rubbing his eyes with microscopic fists, his bell-mouth gob pants flapping about his chill ankles, his immortal fraction still back in the bunkhouse, dreaming of the merry lights of Newark or the jolly racket Of Omaha.
