From the back cover comments:
Herman Melville's "'The Confidence Man' survived the dismal reception it received in 1857 and now its reputation grows. Looking back to Swift and Sterne and forward to Nabokov and Pynchon, it remains one of Melville's most enigmatic and engaging novels."
"I can't recall if I remember." -- Alberto Gonzalez
Quote from Gertrude Stein
"I write for myself and strangers. No one who knows me can like it. At least they mostly do not like it that everyone is of a kind of men and women and I see it. I love it and I write it.'
"I want readers so strangers must do it. Mostly no one knowing me can like it that I love it that every one is a kind of men and women, that always I am looking and comparing and classifying of them, always I am seeing their repeating. Always more and more I love repeating, it may be irritating to hear from them but always more and more I love it of them."
