Official synopsis Publisher
When Ian Frazier’s first collection of humorous essays, Dating Your Mon, was published in 1986, Time’s reviewer Paul Gray called it “hilarious” and warned readers to” read sparingly… By 1996 another collection may appear.” And he was rights. Frazier’s new collection, Coyote v. Acme, includes twenty-two more side-splitting glimpses into some of the more oddball corners of the American mind. The title essay imagines the opening statement of an attorney for cartoon character Wile E. Coyote in a product liability suit against the Acme Company, supplier of unpredictable rocket sleds and faulty spring-powered shoes. Other essays are about the golfing career of comedian Bob Hope, a commencement address given by a Satanist college president, a suburban short story attacked by Germans, the problem of issues versus non-issues, and the theories of revolutionary stand-up comedy from Comrade Stalin.
