V

V. remains a popular literary classic by one of America''s great modernists. Through a cryptic entry in his father''s dairy, Henry Stencil becomes obsessed with discovering the identity of V., in a quest that leads him through the dizzying world of characters. V. is a wild, macabre tale of the twentieth century and of two men (one looking for something he has lost; the other never had too much to lose and isn''t looking for it)-and "V.", the unknown lady of the title, who may be somebody''s mother, somebody''s mistress, or the world gone mad with despair.
