National Book Award finalist: Look who's on the "Dick Gibson Radio
Show": Arnold the Memory Expert ("I've memorized the entire West
Coast shoreline - except for cloud cover and fog banks"). Bernie
Perk, the burning pharmacist. Henry Harper, the nine-year old
orphan millionaire, terrified of being adopted. The woman whose
life revolves around pierced lobes. An evil hypnotist. Swindlers.
Con-men. And Dick Gibson himself. Anticipating talk radio and its
crazed hosts, Stanley Elkin creates a brilliant comic world held
together by American manias and maniacs in all their forms, and a
character who perfectly understands what Americans want and gives
it to them.
