An addled man tries to escape the shadow of his genius but despairing father only to find himself subjected to the same grandiose temptations to find the answers to life in a radio device designed to talk to angels or the dead. A fat, Faustian German opera, "Angels and Electrons" is a different sort of 'coming of age' novel -- if you can be said to come of age at 50, can conquer your despair, and can resist the recurring desire to take down the system that took down you.
