Synopsis
Albert Angelo may also refer to the former mayor of Vancouver, Washington. Albert Angelo is the second novel written by the experimental novelist B. S. Johnson (1933-1973). Published in 1964, the book achieved fame for having holes cut in several pages as a narrative technique. It is written in an unusual and pioneering style, frequently changing from first-person narrative to third-person commentary, and often descending into stream-of-consciousness interior monologue.
