Book and dust jacket in very good clean condition, with just minor bumps to spine ends and the odd little mark.From the Introduction by Simon Elron: \"\'Misanthropology\' is an anthology of tripping forays into the essence of human being ... (Reneau) bakes up an alliterative collage and scrambles sentences to deliver an unexpected phrase, or popup rhyme ... There is a definitely cynical vein that laces this goulash ... after some goofy banter (he) actually gets serious and talks the cosmogony talk. There will be moments when you may feel that Reneau\'s inspiration was \'Finnegan\'s Wake\', but he assures me that it was in fact Shaw\'s \'Don Juan in Hell\' and Python\'s Parrot Sketch. I do not believe that the comparison is presumptuous. \'Misanthropology\' is parsed in slapstick and highfalutin phrasing. This is a funny and a thoughtful experience, both nutritious in content and original in condiment.\" 216 pages. Weight 500g.
