A hilarious, ground-breaking and insightful novel, Glyph successfully blends the feverish plot of a thriller with the philosophical depth of Barthes. Narrated by a baby genius Ralph; a baby with an IQ of 475, who is much more at home with the post-modernist thought of Voltaire than reading Goldilocks and the Three Bears. However, word soon spreads about this miracle gift, and Ralph is soon kidnapped and held hostage by a child psychologist, who runs tests on him. What follows is a number of successive kidnaps, and a linguistic adventure unlike any other.
