  <default_description> &lt;P&gt;Cutting a terrifying path from a Pennsylvania farm to the Europe of the 1930s, Banning Jainlight becomes the private pornographer of the world's most evil man. In a Vienna window, he glimpses the face of a lost erotic dream, and from there travels to the Twentieth Century's darkest corner to confront its shocked and secret conscience. One of Steve Erickson's most acclaimed novels, &lt;I&gt;Tours of the Black Clock&lt;/I&gt; crosses the intersections of passion and power and gazes into a clock with no face, where memory is the gravity of time and all the numbers fall like rain.&lt;P&gt; </default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm convinced that Steve Erickson is an achingly inventive writer, but this book kept slipping out of my mental grip. I tried to let the poetic, non-linear story unfold without needing it to make sense, but I got tired.
