Seller's Description:
Good jacket. New York. 1974. February 1974. Random House. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket. 0394487125. 273 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Paul Bacon. Signed by the Author. keywords: American Literature. DESCRIPTION-What is one to make of Caleb Sharrow, the sightseer of the title and the protagonist of this sensual and enigmatic novel? A brilliant young film maker who longs to free himself from facts, from ‘things as they really are, ' Caleb travels to Vienna, and thence to points east, ostensibly in search of the theme and subject of his next film, but in fact the journey is an effort to shake off his past. Heretofore his most successful film has been a cinema veritE about the pain-wracked last days of a dying man, Hailed by critics as a brilliant, sensitive work of art, the winner of several prestigious awards and even a modest commercial success, the film, called Death Watch, is a key to the character of Caleb, for it turns out that the dying man was his father. How are we to view a son who is a voyeur to the agonies of a parent's death? Is he a cold-blooded, unfeeling child making capital out of the demise of a loved one, or is he a consummate artist able to find beauty even in the ugly, enriching us all? Would he, in fact, ‘blow up the world to film its end, ' as his twin brother Noel charges? Or does the truth lie in his rebuttal: ‘No, but if it were coming to an end, I'd like to spend my last few seconds shooting the event, and imposing some sense and beauty on it. ' Yet though the morality-and immorality-of art is the theme of this rich and reflective novel, it is textured by the senses, The Sightseer is spiced with marvelously vivid physical episodes, permeated by the taste of exotic food, the sound of skis whispering through dry powdered snow, the smell of a market in Istanbul, the feel of a woman's skin on a warm afternoon-but above all by the visual, the art of seeing, for both Caleb's eyes and camera dominate these pages. inventory #8001.
