Porridge: The Inside Story

ABLEMAN, PAUL

Literature & Fiction

Pan/Macmillan

At once confined and liberated by his madness, the hero and narrator of I Haer Voices takes us on journeys through his private, transfigured city. The vehicle is his own deranged mind, fueled by the absurdities of modern life. Lovers of Beckett and Ionesco will recognize much in Paul Abelman’s world, where the fantastic and the real coexist in a hilarious, disquieting detente. This first American edition brings to a new audience a literary masterpiece which was originally published in 1958 by Olympia Press in Paris; Maurice Girodias claimed that it was the book that gave him the greatest pleasure to publish.  The narrator of I Hear Voices is a young schizophrenic who, on the wings of his madness transports himself, and the reader, through a wondrously transfigured city where the real and the fantastic blend together in a seamless enchantment. The continual stream and buzz of events is often comical, occasionally wrenching, and always unpredictable. Encounters with Miss Carpet, The Commissioner, Merkitt, and Mrs. Oil, among others, are filled with poignant satire and disquieting honesty in this vision of the fragmentation of contemporary life. I Hear Voices is an unforgettable adventure, and a major literary experience.

It is time that serious notice was taken of Paul Ableman.?Anthony Burgess, author of A Clockwork OrangeThis book is about you. How does your brain work and where do your thoughts and dreams come from? How can you harness their creative power? Ableman posits a crucial relationship between language and memory and thus between language and self-awareness. Most startlingly he maintains that the human 'person' is essentially the language component of a large-brained animal. Ableman has researched his theory using existing data derived from the malfunctioning mind as manifested in schizophrenia, sleepwalking, autism, 'out of body' experiences and nightmares. His revolutionary claims constitute an exciting and persuasive theory of mind which orthodox science could - and should - test.Paul Ableman is the author of many novels, including I Hear Voices, VacTornado Pratt and science fiction?Twilight of the Vilp?as well as over twenty stage and broadcast television scripts.'The novel reads so accurately and is precisely attuned to the details of madness that it leads us to suspect that something must be at least slightly askew with its creator. This, by the way, is a compliment."?Woodstock TimesPaul Ableman's I Hear Voices and Tornado Pratt have just been reissued by McPherson & Company.Combines the accessibility of Steven Pinker's How The Mind Works with the startling originality of Sherwin Nuland's Wisdom of the Body.
