                    [Summary] => 

I’ve always been partial to literature with absurd, off-the-wall, shaggy-dog, irreverent humor. I remember with better clarity how good it felt finishing my first Kurt Vonnegut or Tom Robbins novel than how it was closing that first John Banville or J.M. Coetzee book. I vividly recall how Robbins’ Still Life with Woodpecker had as its hilarious literary conceit, creating a story from what we see on a pack of Camel cigarettes – and that was read a quarter of a century ago.
