How does one categorize this book? It's not science fiction, though it does contain those elements. Cult fiction is too limiting a term. How about a great piece of literature? "Camp Concentration" is a most interesting story. It's hard to summarize without revealing the very surprising (and rewarding) ending, which I did not see coming. This was my first exposure to Disch, but certainly won't be my last.
