Description



About the Book



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.
