A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

When "The Baby" locks horns with the Young Cat, who wins? The Baby gets his face scratched, and the young cat earns itself a one-way ticket to the home of The Cat Lady where it can socialize with 600 other members of its own species. This and other humorous stories, fantasies, and satires pack this 128-page, sometimes laugh-a-minute book. And when Mahatma Gandhi takes a time travel trip to a Long Island bar, you think he is not tempted to forgo his policy of nonviolence when he has to explain to a plumber how exactly he obtains his goat milk and brings home the bacon? Other essays explore reducing America's budget deficits by conducting a nuclear weapon fire sale ("Delivered to Your Door in 90 minutes or the next one is on Us!"), author John Updike’s remarkable achievements with young cats, and an Indian would be JFK-Lincoln whose speech begins, "Four score and seven minutes from now, drinks and gourmet aperitifs will be served." A variable feast of humor from the author of the bestselling novel "The Revised Kama Sutra," which was described by Kurt Vonnegut as “very funny.” The cover is graced by two of the prolific and hugely talented Stephane Delapree's paintings of blue cats.
