| Publisher's Note | |
| Three autobiographical monologues detail the journalist's life with his communist father, his experiences as a Princeton math major, and his early career as a novelist. | |
| Industry reviews | |
| The best humor is familiar to all but firmly grounded in the real world. Kornbluth's familiar real world is clearly New York from the beginning monolog, "Red Diaper Baby." This first-person account of growing up in the Sixties with an imposing Communistic father constitutes a vivid and delightful portrait of the man. In "Mathematics of Change," we find Josh at college, confronted with scholastic competition for the first time. Josh's witty, painful death by calculus is shared directly by the reader as his identity is transformed. "Haiku Tunnel," soon to be a movie, gets right to the heart of office life as viewed through the eyes of those who temp. Wickedly funny, it has a surprise ending, which provides the reader with a morsel of hope. Each monolog is quick, satisfying reading, very funny and very human. These reflections of urban life are well recommended. Sue Olcott, Columbus Metropolitan Lib., Ohio Breitman | |
