David's older brother Benny, who stayed home and dedicated himself to building a successful business, is all that remains of the family. Although it is David's first night back in the family home, the two brothers rapidly conflict over their opposing world views. When the spirit of their dead father, Hellman, is raised, Benny and David engage in an exhausting battle over the truth of his life in a concentration camp. Can anything or any situation justify killing? Shall we kill for revenge, in self-defense, for a political ideal, for love?

"Incarcerated in a mental institution after attempting a form of self-immolation, David Hellman is engaged in a desperate attempt to thwart attempts to fix his identity. Hellman's only weapon is a scrapbook wherein he simultaneously writes and buries his self beneath scraps of newspaper articles. His disease is limited by his own omniscience - his ability to glimpse the world from many points of view." "Hellman's Scrapbook is an exploration of the relationships of power which have so deeply scarred the human experiment. And yet, as Hellman's unquenchable desire for unity and meaning explode into multiplicity and difference, new hope emerges as a new cycle begins."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
