than with other people. Kirkus Reviews wrote of this book, “A masterpiece of character comedy
[that is] brilliant, relentless, delicious, perhaps even classic.” And The New York Times Book
Review said “A masterwork … the novel astonishes with its inventiveness … it is nothing less
than a grand comic fugue.” We will meet at the home of Phil Paul (630) 908-0015, 21W111
Coronet Road, Lombard, IL 60148. This book is available in paperback on Amazon for as little as
