Summary: "Penthouse F takes the form of an inquiry into the suicide, which may or may not be a murder, of a young boy and girl that took up residence in the Author/Protagonist's -- same name: Richard Kalich -- own penthouse in Manhattan. Using the interrogations of various figures in the fictional Kalich's own life, as well as the protagonist's own philosophical musings, personal documents, and notes on a novel in progress, the story of the pair's end unfolds, becoming both more real and more suspect. At the center of this interrogation looms the question -- is Kalich responsible? ... Kalich is able to undertake a pointed critical examination of an increasing voyeuristic generation while cautioning against the delusion that the instantaneity of electronic media can replace the substantiality of authentic human relationship"--Book jacket.
