The Secret Heart of the Clock

<p><b>From one of the preeminent intellectual figures of the twentieth century, a highly personal testimonial of what Canetti himself chooses to term "notations," bits and pieces: notes, aphorisms, fragments. Taken together, they present an awesomely tender, guiltily gloomy meditation on death and aging.<br></b><br>" A mosaical portrait of an old body's mind determined to do its exercises and not lose a step--and fascinating for that." - <i>Kirkus Reviews </i></p>
