Summary note

"One-Man Boat: The George Hitchcock Reader is an eclectic and lively anthology celebrating his colorful oeuvre - surreal, political, and found poems; provocative plays and short stories; candid interviews, reviews, and essays; and his (in)famous (and comically subversive) testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee, reprinted from the Congressional Record. ("That is a delightful question. Am I directed to answer it?")."--BOOK JACKET.
