The Journalist Movements and Schools On returning to AmericaBy Harry Mathews ISBN: 9781564781659 Publication Date: 10 01 1997 A blend of postmodern metafiction and old style bedroom farce, The Journalist explores the elusive, sometimes illusive, boundaries between facts and the fictions we weave around them.
