A famous philosopher. A giant meat cleaver. A sordid tale of love,
revenge, hatred, and interstellar shenanigans, all stirred in a
giant copper pot and boiled with leeks. This is the
never-before-told bizarro history of the illustrious Francois-Marie
Arouet, known to the world as Voltaire. This is pain This is
suffering This is wild, sticky-sweat-between-the-sheets action
Inter-dimensional space and time travel, space-brides, desiccated
planets, great literature, and Slobodan Milosevic, too. We invite
you to the party. Please bring your own soap and Quaaludes.
Francois-Marie Arouet, better known as Voltaire, is back and ready
for action Armed with only his wits, his wig, and his mighty
cleaver (which he did not have in 1484), our daring and dangerous
hero accepts a critical mission to save some very minor characters
from F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. Wait, did you say
MINOR characters? Who CARES if Klipspringer or the owl-faced man
die horrible deaths? The Universe cares, that's who. Its very
fabric could be torn asunder, leaving gaping holes in time, space,
and the plot of this very book. Should Voltaire fail, the
consequences will be unacceptable. For you, Dear Reader, shall
awaken in the morning married to the boil on the Queen of Spain's
buttock. Pain, suffering, sex, squirrels, and advanced weaponry
pervade this towering work of modern-day literature. Those who hold
The Great Gatsby in high esteem will fawn over this nouveau look
into its world, composing dissertations on its scope and the
in-depth philosophical questions it raises."
