      About This Book

      Incarcerated in a mental institution after attempting a form of self-immolation, David Hellman is engaged in a desperate attempt to thwart attempts to fix his identity. Hellman's only weapon is a scrapbook wherein he simultaneously writes and buries his self beneath scraps of newspaper articles. His disease is limited by his own omniscience - his ability to glimpse the world from many points of view.
      Hellman's Scrapbook is an exploration of the relationships of power which have so deeply scarred the human experiment. And yet, as Hellman's unquenchable desire for unity and meaning explode into multiplicity and difference, new hope emerges as a new cycle begins.
