But one man believes they still exist, somewhere out in the wilderness.In THE FIFTH HEAD OF CERBERUS, Gene Wolfe brilliantly interweaves three tales: a scientist''s son gradual discovery of the bizarre secret of his heritage; a young man''s mythic dreamquest for his darker half; the mystifying chronicle of an anthropologist''s seemingly-arbitrary imprisonment. Gradually, a mesmerising pattern emerges.
