Fang, as he addresses the issue of man's spirituality and the burden of theocratic denomination. Cultural panavision, verbal technicolour and the sharply focussed lens of an academic 'outsider' from the East - now settles in 'enlightened' Virginia -make 'Ecrasez L'Infame' very challenging, very up close and personal for those who espouse the Jeudo-Christian tradition.

What is it to Sir Percy that the ‘Reign of Terror’ has cast its shadow over all of France, or that the ...
