The Agony and the Eggplant is the first book-length study of
author, illustrator, and radio personality, Daniel Pinkwater.
Pinkwater began writing and illustrating children's books in 1970
and has been a prolific author for three decades. He has written
over 70 books altogether: more than fifty picture books, a dozen
books for middle-grade or intermediate readers, half a dozen books
for adolescents, an adult novel, and several books of nonfiction.
Pinkwater is a humorist, and many of his stories involve science
fiction or fantasy themes. He is often compared with Douglas Adams
and Kurt Vonnegut; his style is often likened to Monty Python and
Mad magazine. Pinkwater's fiction has often been described as
"wacky" and "zany;" The Agony and the Eggplant will go beyond those
cliches to place Pinkwater as a classical satirist, an American
humorist, and a master of children's literature. Sprinkled with
quotes and observations from Pinkwater, Hogan gives us a highly
entertaining look at the man responsible for some of the most
unique young adult fiction on the market.
