Chaos, cosmos, and Saint-Exupéry's pilot hero

"John Harris attempts to address this stunning author's unique quality with full regard for his evasion of categories. He contends that Saint-Exupery is in fact naively, perhaps sublimely simple and that his apparent complexity results from our underestimating his determination to fuse the aesthetic and the moral, to live a story whose motions struggle tirelessly toward an end."--BOOK JACKET.
