NIGHT WATCH

by Stephen Koch ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 21, 1969

(We pause to editorialize that normal channels of communication have apparently been exhausted, since this is the fourth book about incest of the season, by far the worst and written in a relentless present tense. It deals with the experiences of Davy and Harriet who have always lived alone in a private world of their own in the care of an alcoholic aunt. We also acknowledge our indebtedness to the author for the style of the presentation and the quoted materials.) ""Look at Harriet."" ""Look at David."" Look at David looking at Harriet out on the lawn with a man with ""curling wet lips."" Watch David. No longer looking at Harriet. He's making it with the chauffeur. Look at Harriet. . . wondering where David is. . . waiting for David to come home. She goes in his room early in the morning. ""This is what she sees."" David masturbating. . . . ""Listen."" ""Stop."" Look at THEM. ""Her. . . him. . . her. . . his. . . she. . . he. . . ."" Look away. ""The filthy moment has passed.
