About
What begins as an open letter to Douglas Hofstadter, Pulitzer Prize-winning author, soon becomes a journey into myriad self-discoveries. Hofstadter's Grandchildren is a collection of poetry and fi ction inspired by Gödel, Escher, Bach including a four-line play about a four-line play, a narrative about a child who becomes the wind, and a story about the author's ultimate crisis of confidence. With outright lies and earth-shattering true-confessions, Hofstadter's Grandchildren reminds us that to know ourselves, sometimes we have to forget who we are.
