Babel Tower
Babel TowerfollowsThe Virgin in the GardenandStill Lifein tracing Frederica Potter, a lover of books who reflects the author's life and times.  It  centers around two lawsuits: in one, Frederica -- a young intellectual  who has married outside her social set -- is challenging her wealthy and violent husband for custody of their child; in the other, an unkempt but charismatic rebel is charged with having written an obscene book, a novel-within-a-novel about a small band of revolutionaries who attempt to set up an ideal community.  And in the background,  rebellion gains a major toehold in  the London of the Sixties, and society will never be the same.--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
