About the Book

"A wiser, more cheerful book I haven''t read in years.  Baker''s humor always has that snag of reality, like a drop of blood or a dried tear, that turns a belly laugh into a deeply satisfying gut reaction."

Newsweek

"Baker has a sense of the absurb, a gift of characterization and an ear for dialogue which make his prose crackle with laughter and ache with sadness."

Los Angeles Times

"Elliott Baker knows what he loves with the same fierce clarity that he sheds on what he detests."

The New Leader
