Description: Thirteen Sick Tasteless Classics is author Jay Dubya's twelfth book. The work satirizes thirteen famous literature classic stories. From American literature Mark Twain's Jumping Frog, The Legend of Paul Bunyan and Edgar Allan Poe's Tell-Tale Heart are given an adult-spin and thoroughly rewritten. British literature is also broadsided with adult satirical renditions of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, A Robin Hood Adventure and Gulliver in Lilliput. Greek Mythology is also given a new interpretation with humorous versions of the myths Odysseus and the Cyclops from Homer's Odyssey, Daedalus and Icarus, Pandora, King Midas and Prometheus and Fire being given entirely new slants. Finally, author Jay Dubya gives a new twist to the Biblical classic David and Goliath.
