About this product

Product Information

What will happen to George Smith? Mysteriously rich and desperately lonely, George appears to be under attack from all quarters: his former wife and four horrible children are suing to get his money; his dipsomaniacal housekeeper is trying to arouse his carnal interest; his secretary, the beautiful, blond Miss Thomson, will barely give him the time of day. Making matters even worse are the threatening letters: Dear Sir: Only for the moment are we saying nothing. Yours, etc., Present Associates. Despite such precautions as a two-inch-thick surgical steel door and a bullet-proof limousine, Smith remains worried. So he undertakes to build a giant mausoleum, complete with plumbing, in which to live. Hunter S. Thompson called reading this book "like sitting down to an evening of good whisky and mad laughter in a rare conversation somewhere on the edge of reality."

Not a true Hardcover as stated, but a "flexible rigid" cover... But it is still an excellent volume - great price, fast ship, secure packaging - Recommended Seller! AAA+++

  • A Singular Man by J.P Donleavey

    I first read this book about 10-15 years ago and it lesd me to purchase every book by this author. It established it's author as one of the greatest writer's in the English language in my mind and I don't think my being Irish had anything to do with it. Nothing has happened to change that opinion.

It is very hard to describe exactly what this man's books are about except to say that they say what we all think to ourselves when we are alone. Thjey are full of great humor and profound truth at the same time. His characters never tell lies about themselves to themselves and never seek pity despite some very difficult times Please read this book and you will be hooked for life. Although ...
