The most recent addition to the complete review is my review of A Cinematographic Tale by Jules Romains, Donogoo-Tonka or The Miracles of Science.
I just recently picked up -- for four times the cover-price ! (me, who never pays retail ...) -- a copy of his The Lord God of the Flesh ("a rapturous hymn to the oneness of Man and Woman", as the back-cover copy has it ...) -- in its irresistible pocket format and, yeah, sure, the cover didn't hurt:
![The Lord God of the Flesh]()
As far as Donogoo-Tonka goes ... well, okay, it's not a rapturous hymn to the oneness of Man and Woman, but I still can't help thinking Princeton Architectural Press missed the boat (or several) here; much as I love plain covers this is not even an attractive plain cover:
![Donogoo-Tonka]()
This weird, wild text deserves better than that.
