Fresh new hilarity from the author ofThe Mysterious Secret of the Valuable Treasure. Glittering with mischief and perversity, Pushcart Prize winner Jack Pendarvis's latest collection introduces... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Jack Pendarvis is one of those writers who can make me put the book down, I'm laughing so hard. Both this and his other book of short stories are wonderful. I'm looking forward to reading his novel. I highly recommend him to anyone who likes deadpan humor and oddball characters.

Pendarvis has a great satirical eye and ear. The title story is a blast with three of four laugh out loud lines per page. Only two of the stories ( the one about gum and then Final Remarks) dissapointed me somewhat, although as riffs on our culture they work ok. The other stories though are great.
