Description
"The hapless love affair of hopeful poet Tom Jones and wealthy, bohemia-bound Sadie Massey is cross-referenced in brief, satirical, encyclopedic passages from ABORTION to ZOO CAFETERIA." (TIME Magazine review, October 24, 1969) An early example of hypertext fiction, Encyclopedia's narrative is entirely multilinear and can be read from beginning to end or, as the author's preface suggests, by following the book's cross-references.

Reviews
"The author's treatment of the subject, the inventive structure of the book make it something with which the student of the novel ought to become familiar."
-Green Bay Press-Gazette, Nov. 30, 1069
"There is some excellent comedy in the book and some of the descriptions of the swinging scene are extremely entertaining. Horn also has a very considerable gift as a parodist."
-The Province (Vancouver, BC), Oct. 25, 1969
"It's a daringly original idea, but it comes off successfully and effectively."
-Argus-Leader (Sioux Falls, SD), Nov. 2, 1969
". . . a nice smattering of sex and on the whole is quite enjoyable."
- St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Dec. 7, 1969
