Summaries and Reviews
Summary
Filled with satire, wit, and commiseration, a renowned poet documents the idiotic, the pitiful, and the ordinary in our culture. Reprint.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
One of the New York Public Library's 25 "Books to Remember" in 1997 Lux comments on the absurd, the pathetic, and the commonplace in our culture, writing with compassion as well as satire. He is "singular among his peers in his ability to convey with a deceptive lightness the paradoxes of human emotion," says Publishers Weekly, and Robert Hass, in the Washington Post Book World, takes special note of Lux's "bitter wit, the kind of irony that comes with a quick, impatient intelligence."
