In April 1944, the SS paused in the French village of Chamberet on routine business and left with the author's mother. For the rest of the war the mother was interned at Auschwitz. She returned at war's end, her health irreparably impaired but wanting to talk. Recording her story, however, fell to Morhange-Begue, and here she bears witness on her mother's behalf.

Hedyphagetica is a powerful political satire, a ribald comedy, and a desperate love letter to a woman named Aime?. "Oh my, yes, I am afraid that in the beginning was the word..." So begins the narrator's account of his homeland, Gron, a country whose militaristic and authoritarian government bombs its own people at air shows--to keep them awed--and leads them into pointless and interminable wars to keep them properly motivated Employing all the tools of modernity to achieve a medieval brand of repression, Gron is a grim place. The narrator, attempting a kind of history, tells his story through the life of Dr. Samuel Johnson (no relation), an everyman who suffers every indignity his government can offer (including having an eye removed to "cure" his migraines).
