It explains that the original text, first published by Freundlich Books in January 1984, was substantially cut from the publisher’s version. This edition reinstates excised manuscript material under the author’s careful direction, presenting what the publisher frames as the first complete edition. It also situates the work within staged memoir sections and a detailed contents
