Product Description
by Eve Ottenberg (Author)
BOOBY PRIZE is a comic novel about how Carbon, the people's eco-socialist soviet of Florida comes to the Mid-Atlantic, determined to prevent Americans from eating meat, by the unlikely means of stealing the formula for a new erectile dysfunction medicine. The revolutionaries go on a kidnapping spree. But unfortunately, the assorted nuts, nitwits, idiots, weirdos, imbeciles, crackpots and morons that they have abducted are driving the communist kidnappers crazy. Readers of other books in this series -- CARBON, FURTHER ADVENTURES OF FECKLESS FRANK, BIRDBRAIN, TROGLODYTE, BONKERS, LIZARD PEOPLE and BUSYBODY -- will recognize lots of reappearing oddballs and their bizarre obsessions and complaints, from Maynard Ploshinsky, to the famously constipated undertaker Buddy Schlimizzle to the Space Force's chief of proctological hygiene, Dr. Elbert Posterior. And lots of others. While highlighting the preposterous, innately humorous aspect of the human body in a mildly subversive manner, this novel is one laugh after another.
