Reviews

"A mock self-help book designed not to help but to provoke; a chapbook to inveigle us into thinking about who we are and how we got into this mess." --Richard Eder, Los Angeles Times Book Review "Original and imaginative, it conveys a serious, occasionally somber message in a vein of high comedy. I love this book. It is not to be read once through, but to be reread, savored, and pondered." --Edmund Fuller, The Wall Street Journal "This is a stunningly innovative collection, for readers who like both to chuckle and to think hard." --People
