Journeys to the Edge of the Egg is a collection of short fictions related by the theme of initiation into new life. While the ages of the protagonists vary from early childhood to middle-age, they are all on journeys which take them to the beginning of real life--the Egg of the title--a new relationship with reality. / Many of the characters are addicts of some kind, either addicted to alcohol, or to a way of loving, or to a relationship with art, or to the perverse thrill crime; and many of the stories describe the process of breaking free of these patterns of obsession, or failing to. But mostly the characters succeed--they do come through. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 53-03, Section: A, page: 0798. / Major Professor: Jerome H.
