Admission was denied to all but a hand-picked group of celebrities; Nobel Prize winners, surviving members of Einstein's family, renowned Einstein scholars and historians, and journalists. Unbeknownst to the organizers of the event, Mr. Lisker turned out to be the only journalist present with the scientific competence to cover the entirety of this unique event.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This is the first volume of the collected stories of Roy Lisker. Written over a period of over sixty years, these works are a significant cross-cutting slice of the vast creative output of this American polymath, a mathematician, political activist, underground journalist, prankster and provocateur, poet, playwright, novelist, artist, composer, and above all, always, man of letters, who has carved out for himself an entirely original and authentic career outside the bounds of conventional institutions and produced a body of work of astonishing vitality and breadth. We regard the publication of these stories, all together for the first time, as an important event in American letters. This volume contains tales of frustrated, ego-mad, and possessed musicians, and depraved and/or misled men of science; two hysterical mathematical spoofs; and culminates in the novella The Governments of Chelm, in which the legendary shtedl of fools grapples with one system of government after another, to no avail. "The stories collected here are a small part of [the author's] enormous output, but are representative of several important strands in his work that were present from the beginning: satire; a zest for playful formal experiment; the recurring themes of politics, music, mathematics, and the role of the frustrated outsider."--Page ix. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
