Most of the action taking place in this story occurred in the
mid-1980s, when the threat of industrial pollution was already well
known. The narrator was perhaps one of the first to realize that
industrial pollution was interconnected with a vast international
conspiracy of brain surgeons. He found evidence of this conspiracy
not only in the proliferation of brain surgery clinics and in their
activities, but in coded messages embedded in bus schedules, in
syringe marks on fruit, even in television commercials. Although he
played only a minor role in the struggle against the brain
surgeons, he felt it was his duty as a living being to record these
strange events exactly as they occurred, so that the truth could be
known. "Hilariously zany, brisk, and suspenseful, and so strange in
an otherworldly sense that you cannot stop turning the pages - I
kept muttering "what the. " to myself - Cafe Bombshell is a
Montypythonesque rendition of the incredible adventures of two
stuffed rabbits and their wards. Reading the novel was a lot of
fun, and it lifted my spirits in some unexpected ways. This is a
genuinely unique piece of writing." - Gordana P. Crnkovic,
University of Washington "Ramet's first novel takes us on a
surrealistic rollercoaster ride blending in psychedelic adaptations
of events from the author's life into a hilarious, wacky adventure
that takes the reader from one side of the Pacific to the other and
back, with a short jaunt into outer space, culminating in a
world-saving song-and-dance-routine climax in Las Vegas, in which
two stuffed eco-terrorist rabbits and an assortment of robotized
weasels play the decisive role. Filled with a menagerie of
unforgettable animal characters and told through the eyes of an
apparently paranoid character worried about brain surgery, this
story also incorporates a serious critique of environmental
destruction, as well as swipes at corporations and their aggressive
marketing campaigns." - Vjeran Pavlakovic, NCEEER Research Scholar
in Zagreb.
