The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy
(Douglas Adams)
Monet would put it this way:a gently crazed agoraphobic hominid (pre-dating yet somehow dating) the shadow of a cyborg reminiscent of Borat escapes the destruction of the earth by stowing away one various rickety spaceships. Deep Purple does not appear, but a menagerie of surreal creatures do witty things. The most amazing thing about this book is that, vant la lettre, it teaches you how to abolish spam from your computer in 42 easy steps.
These are some more impressions: Unlike Tolstoy and Terry Gillam, the spaces between characters are sketched in a veritable vacuum. Outlines fade in and out of focus in a pleasing and almost intoxicating fashion.
Ghandi and the Clash would do well to get jiggy with each other's anima(l)s on page 129.
The use of commas is exquisite. The semicolon, however, is sadly sagging. Thermodynamic laws are negated. You'll make five friends reading this.
There is no sex and little violence, but the rhythm and tease of the text does circle upon itself to reveal a hidden space Eros behind the ears of Mr. Spock. Indeed, the thrust of the narrative climaxes early, leaving the reader stranded within a galaxy of laugther and surprisingly astute theological commentary. Shylock and Osama are reconciled; the bus maiden that winks at Ricky Gervais is reviled. Children's music plays on page three (it's remarkable-- pick up the text and put it near your ear).
Not quite Oscar Wilde as a Cosmonaut, but clever and amusing, especially for your inner adolescent.
