character comedy [that is] brilliant, relentless, delicious, perhaps even classic.” And The New

it is nothing less than a grand comic fugue.” We will meet at the home of Phil Paul (630) 9080015, 21W111 Coronet Road, Lombard, IL 60148. This book is available in paperback on
Amazon for as little as $0.01 plus shipping and at most libraries and book stores. Please bring
