© 1971: A stand-alone novel by R A Lafferty. 1st printing of 1978 edition. UK SFBC #1137:- Synopsis: This is a swirling kaleidoscope of a novel, the exuberant, hilarious and wise testimony of an obsessively creative (ktistec) machine. Presiding over its own birth at the Institute for Impure Science, the machine Epiktistes, becomes the world's greatest perceiver, analyser and con-artist. His relationships with the members of the Institute - principals such as mighty Gaetan Balbo, explosive Gregory Smirnov, saber-souled Valery Mok, ubiquitous Aloysius Shiplap and others (including a man-eating tiger named Peter the Great) - educate Epikt to the best and zaniest of which man is capable. Armed with this and a deepening awareness of an evil force within him, Epikt sallies forth into the unsuspecting world seeking leadership, love and communication. 'Arrive At Easterwine' is the 'high journal' of that journey, a satiric, irreverent and unpredictable romp through history, mythology, theology and swarms of nutty people. As R A Lafferty puts it, this book is 'quite the best thing that any machine has ever done'. And Lafferty should know:- (original cost unknown).
