Amusing and wise. The title is an understatement. So campy it's avant garde. Nobody captures American bitter, post-war, suburban alchoholics better. Nobody is funnier.
Nobody writes with more flair.
I'm glad I missed perfectly. Beautiful, funny perversity. The human thought process is exposed in all it's tragic majesty on every page. Funny and sad, beautifully written. Clever, witty, original prose style.
