Farewell to Innocence is a novel in which multiple plots unfold sinuously in a world where the boundaries between race, ethnicity, class, religion, gender and sexuality start collapsing almost inexorably as a new age sweeps away all ancient verities and customs. It is also an exotic story of love between women. Erotic entanglements are negotiated with genuine care and sensitivity in a world fraught with all kinds of uncertainties about the future. And yet the dark shadow of betrayal transforms the new world order into a bleak wilderness, exposing the futility of politics and revolution.
This novel about the adventures of a lipstick lesbian belongs to the literary genre of confessional-autobiographical-writing. Augustine of Hippo is one of the earliest founders of this literary genre and Henry Miller’s work represents the quintessential modern version of fictionalized-confessional-autobiographical writing. The saga of Hannah Zeeman lies somewhere between Augustine and Henry Miller.
