Product Description

Product Description

Fantasist William Kotzwinkle takes readers on a wild ride in this thriller set in the sleazy world of the tabloids

Howard Halliday, the editor of the Midnight Examiner and the unlikely protagonist in William Kotzwinkle's latest novel, becomes embroiled with several shady characters, including a bloodthirsty crime lord and a porn queen in danger, who lead him into a bizarre escapade that rivals only the freakish headlines in the Midnight Examiner.

From the Publisher

Marlowe is privileged to reintroduce William Kotzwinkle!

FROM KURT VONNEGUT: "Kotzwinkle is one of the few American writers in complete control of his material."

FROM RICHARD BAUSCH: "I think William Kotzwinkle is our Boccaccio--there isn't anyone funnier, smarter, or more inventive."

FROM DAN WAKEFIELD: "The last book that made me laugh so hard I fell off my chair was by William Kotzwinkle."

For some reason, this book reminds me of the Marx brothers. Korzwinkle inserts these deft one sentence descriptions that tweek the reader into an unexpected direction. I don't know if there is anybody out there that can write the satire that Kotwinkle enjoys and get away with the hyperbole, but he does it in such a funny fashion, that he carries the reader on a merry romp and you just hold onto your side laughing for dear life. Thank you, William, for your wicked sense of fun.

William Kotzwinkle has always been a great author of humor, and his books always have a very fun feel to them. This story of a tabloid office is no exception, as Midnight Examiner might as well have been a composite of Kotzwinkle's work. Though all of his characters are comedic and goofy in their own way, he always manages to apply that neccessary dose of sympathy.

Unspeakably funny 23 Oct 2000
By Jason Mills VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
There may be some of that ol' Kotzwinkle sadness buried under here, this is not a book without a purpose, but most of all it's just possibly the funniest thing I ever read. Don't deny yourself this pleasure.
