Partisans is a lost work by the mysterious writer Geoffrey Peerson Leed, presented in nine parts according to Leed's designs as indicated in manuscripts discovered after his disappearance. One half of Partisans concerns an unspecified war in an unspecified past, the other half centers on Leed himself as he struggles to survive in an unspecified future. At the heart of the book is our present moment, though never dealt with explicitly. Beyond that, Partisans eludes simple description. "Leed was a mad one, like the rest of us. Unlike us, his gifts were very nearly divine."-V. Kasden "Always, everything we see challenges us to understand. The extent to which we take up the challenge by our own wits and without resorting to prior interpretations is the extent to which we escape oppression."-G.P. Leed
