Drawing its name from the spacecraft currently departing our solar system on an embassy to the beyond, Voyager unfolds as three books within a book and culminates in a chilling Dantean allegory of leadership and its failure in the cause of humanity. At the heart of this volume lies the historical figure of Kurt Waldheim-Secretary-General of the U.N. from 1972-81 and former intelligence officer in Hitler's Wehrmacht-who once served as a spokesman for humanity while remaining silent about his role in the collective atrocities of our era. Resurrecting this complex figure, Reddy's universal voyager explores the garden of forking paths hidden within every totalizing dream of identity.New California poetry ;31.American poetryambition.american literature.american poetry.astrology.cosmology.creative writing.forgetting.genocide.hitler.humanity.identity.intelligence officer.kurt waldheim.leadership.literature.nazis.poems.poetics.poetry.possibility.possible worlds.progress.science fiction.secret identity.secret past.secretary general.silence.solar system.space.spacecraft.spy.united nations.universe.war crimes.wehrmacht.witness.American poetry.811/.6Reddy Srikanth1973-1645181MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814018703321Voyager3991494UNINA
