The Naked Ear

Author: Michael Hoffman ISBN 978-1-62137-054-3 (softcover) ISBN 978-1-62137-055-0 (eBook) 356 pages  "The Naked Ear" is an unpolished, apparently unfinished piece of writing by an author about whom nothing is known, not even his name. The manuscript that chanced to come into my possession in so bizarre a fashion is signed - self-mockingly, one presumes - 'John of Silence'...
