Synopsis
Fred 'Bogus' Trumper is a wayward knight-errant in the battle of the sexes and the pursuit of happiness. He also happens to have a complaint more serious than Portnoy's. Yet he stubbornly clings to the notion that he'll make something of his life, and is about to commit himself to a second marriage that bears remarkable resemblance to his first. "The Water-Method Man" is a work of cosummate artistry and comic invention, bizarre imagery and sharp social and psychological observation.

"Three or four times as funny as most novels."
