No subject index. The final volume of Will's trilogy The Fall and the gods in a wide-ranging package of personal essays on the gods, the loss of the gods, recuperations of Eden through art, the role of the naming act in art and language, the functions of criticism, and the skill of translation as penetration of the art-code. The unifying theme is that, through imaginative power, man creates gods and God, who finally assumes absolute existence quite independent of humanity, and ultimately directs humanity in the universe.
