Don't Read this Book Tails from the Red Fox

Don't Read this Book Tails from the Red Fox is a humorous and satirical book encompassing a broad range of political and cultural issues, with an emphasis on the concealment of truth and wisdom. It is really a spoof, "he found humor where there was none. His humor was a constant irritant." A teacher, a retired military officer who runs a bar and restaurant, and a bookstore owner involved in espionage and a NYU student meet and discuss a wide range of issues while drinking fine wine and savoring international gourmet cooking. A trio, a master chessman playing a genetic botanist and his managing legal partner wife simultaneously, overhear the conversations and add their own commentaries after each dinner has finished. Sometimes they get drunk. The book covers a wide range of issues and and brings together a great deal of history and facts..... it is filled with half-truths and half-spoofs but it challenges the reader to participate in a wide variety of issues which he probably should have been involved in. It is meant to have fun. Topics include Islamic concerns, the Palestinians, the Sunni/Shi'ite world, Tamerlane and Atat rk, the ACLU, discussions about great thinkers and quantum scientists, the new amoral society, the American government as a religion, the chains of Bureaucracy, think tanks, the fear of telling the truth, failure to understand cultures, the "Pleasure Trained Inertia," and much, much more, told in a quizzical and inquisitive manner. the London Paginator described it as, "a new literary genre. I did not find a single verifiable fact in the entire book. It defies all statistical probabilities." The Rock Spring Lariat had this to say, "a definitive book of nonsense. Send me-conscious, drunken drivel at its best."
