Often these voices meet in counterpoint, and the meaning of the narrative emerges from their juxtapositions, harmonies, or discords. Utilizing a wide and historical sweep of representations of the body&#8212;from pedigree charts to genetic sequences&#8212;<i>VAS</i> is, finally, the story of finding one's identity within the double helix of language and lineage.</div> 18662 15 12 2004 VAS: An Opera in Flatland: A Novel.
