Now more than ever, Americans are
troubled by questions. As sweaty modernity thrusts itself upon us, the veil of
ignorance that cloaked our nation hangs in tatters, tattered tatters. Our
"funny bones" are neither fun nor bony. Glum is the new giddy, and
the old giddy wasn't too giddy to begin with.
What can be done to stop this
relentless march of drabbery? Nothing. But perhaps this book can be used to
dull the pain. Included herein:
