About the Book
“Those are my principles, and if you don’t like them... well, I have others.”
—Groucho Marx
Part autobiography, part confession, and part critique, this work looks both inward and outward, blending inquiry with absurdity, and borrowing from post-modernism, Dada, and sixties experimentalism (with some Ernie Kovacs, Spike Jones and Mad Magazine thrown in to keep things moving).
