Fix the Roads

Alexander Haralson, the deranged star of Leonard Borman''s eccentric debut novel Our Jewish Robot Future, returns--only slightly more sane-in his new effort, Fix the Roads, as a retired accountant who wants to start a new career as a stand-up comedian. His ambition is to tell it like it is to the corrupt politicians and be the new Lenny Bruce, but with his well-used heart all aflutter over his new mistress Flossy, and his beloved city of Detroit suffering dire deterioration, he''s in for a bumpy ride.
