Benny Wise was very smart, but not always wise. Thus, when he went
out to Really Hospital on Waight Island (a major geriatrics center
in Eccentric City), and made certain ambitious promises to the
patients in residence there, he didn't quite know what he was
getting into. This was not the limit of his idealism, however. For
the rest of his life -- and he lived a LONG life -- he was involved
in movements of one kind or another: the children's revolution, the
women's movement, the struggle for a democratic ocean, the
left-handers' movement, and finally -- the logical outcome, it
seemed -- the fight that took place under the slogan, "Impotency
Power " Eventually, however, the promises he had made, as a young
man, at Really Hospital, would come back to haunt him. ...Welcome
to Benny's world; please, meet some of his friends: Phyllis Stick.
Jarrod Crowbar, Erca Stampings, Admiral William Brakkist, Scot
Frey, Jimmy Demond, Mao Festo.... BENNY'S MISSION does more than
invent a plot with some characters; it creates an entire new
fictional world, and fills it with surprise and intrigue, color and
laughter.
