Book Review: 'Slouching Towards Kalamazoo' by Peter De Vries
And I don’t mean comic in the sense of cartoons or graphic pulp fiction or as John le Carré referred to muckraking newpapers in The Honourable Schoolboy.
No, I mean comic as in wry attitude, a view of the world which appreciates that human experience is far from silly but for purposes of mental health might better be regarded so. To (and for) wit - P. G. Wodehouse.
He shudda stood in bed!
