SAINT, H(arry) F.

(1941-)

   US businessman and writer whose first novel, Memoirs of an Invisible Man (1987), filmed as MEMOIRS OF AN INVISIBLE MAN (1992), treats the question of INVISIBILITY as a series of problems in practical living. After the protagonist is rendered invisible by an accident at a researchestablishment, he confronts head-on - sometimes comically - the numerous conundrums of his state, finally becoming romantically involved with a woman who believes in ghosts. The novel thus contrasts interestingly with Thomas BERGER's Being Invisible (1987), in which the condition is likewiseaccepted deadpan, but in which the protagonist cannot capitalize upon his state.
