Synopsis
"An appealingly extravagant wit," The Los Angeles Times . "Sheer intellectual bliss," The Los Angeles Times . "A Passionate and erudite critique of American culture," Library Journal . One man's time capsule, lovingly gathered and carefully packed and then deliberately dropped from a great height, shattering on impact into brilliant smithereens. A tender, funny, language-drunk mix of autobiography, confession, commonplace book, humanist battlecry, it's completely wonderful," Michael Herr, author of Dispatches .
