J.-K. Huysmans pastiche? Formative influence on Allen Ginsberg’s Howl? Ben Hecht’s Fantazius Mallare (1922) is at turns obtuse, grotesque, and moralizing — and sought to provoke the obscenity trial of the century. Only it didn’t, quietly vanishing instead. Colin Dickey rereads this failed satire, finding a transcendent rhythm pulsing beneath the novel’s indulgent prose. Scroll through the whole page to download all images before printing.

Dear Readers, But my heart is always standing on its tripod, Ready for the next arrow. —Billy Collins, “Aimless Love” Poetry has been part of my life since my life began, or so I came to know as soon as I was old enough to realize how lucky I was to be raised in an apartment filled with books, ever available. My father, Herman, was, for a time, a literary editor and book critic for Chicago newspapers.
