Harry Pesin, a widely published photographer and member of ASMP, owner of an advertising agency, writer, and author of this zany work of fiction featuring a young photographer who changes his name to Jesus Christ, in an attempt to deal with the unreality of the times. His instrument of salvation is his camera, at least for a while. A note on the jacket blurp reads: "Whu is a Crooked Letter is the first work of fiction to carry an index which is integral to its theme."
