Now, to the ranks of Moorcock's Elric of Melniboné and Donaldson's Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever comes Gaston Glew, a pickle, narrator of Cameron Pierce's The Pickled Apocalypse of Pancake Island: A Tragedy for People Who Eat Food . Sixteen and hereditarily-depressed, Glew escapes the confines of the pickle planet, launching himself into space in a vehicle built and fueled--literally--via the deaths of his parents. Coming to Pancake Island, Glew proceeds to indulge his every sour whim, romancing princesslike pancake Fanny Fod even as he murders her fellow pancakes with impunity, poisons the environment, and destabilizes the sun, kicking off the titular apocalypse. Strangeness abounds in a world where the fauna includes bacon vultures and an imprisoned cuddlywumpus (the source of all happiness), and the plot wickedly spirals through an absurd--if doomed--landscape toward catharsis. Like a demented children's story for adults, The Pickled Apocalypse of Pancake Island: A Tragedy for People Who Eat Food is inspired weirdness in the Bizarro tradition from the author of Shark Hunting in Paradise Garden and Ass Goblins of Auschwitz .(less)

(London), If I Were Dictator: The Pronouncements of the Grand Macaroni finds the Irish fantasist Lord Dunsany (Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett) solving the world's ills through droll humor, satirical logic, and biting wit. Here, Dunsany, naming himself the Grand Macaroni, attacks food additives (and food-as-product... presaging the likes of Eric Schlosser and Michael Pollan), motorcars, ubiquitous advertising, animal cruelty (with the exception of fox hunting, which he supports), purse snatching, phone pranking, and taxes, and many of his solutions sound as radical, and dare I say it--progressive--as they must have in 1934. Particularly entertaining is the Grand Macaroni's solution to the Indian problem, which entails the gradual and systematic removal of Europeans (and their decedents) from India, Canada, and the Americas. It could work.
If I Were Dictator: The Pronouncements of the Grand Macaroni is a mere footnote among the author's eighty-odd books and hundreds of short stories, but nonetheless provides an engaging and captivating glimpse at the inner-workings of the mind of this influential and timeless author. (less)
