Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. 1st edition ; 127 pp. ; 23 cm. ; ISBN: 0394525396; 9780394525396 LCCN: 82-47834 ; OCLC: 8627839 ; "Gray, rumpled, garrulous Prof. Homer Prudhomme, apparently wandering his native New England in search of longtime (long-unfaithful) wife Priscilla, w inds up in a bar. . . and is promptly picked up, more or less, by local exterminator . More Pansy Truax, a giantess who matches Homer's arch locutions with roughly eloquent pronouncements on bumhood: "There's your four types of bums. . . the boozehound bum, the mama's boy, the bookworm, and the pillhead." Very soon, however, Kennedy shifts the tone from boisterous, just-slightly-unreal comedy to a darker, more explicitly thematic brand of whimsy, with more than a soupcon of Joyce Carol O ates. The Homer/Pansy affair quickly becomes a caricature of traditional marriage--with the sex-roles graphically reversed. Homer then flees to become the third party to a similarly imbalanced relationship: the marriage of charismatic octogenarian M rs. French and her young, pretty, effeminate, pouting husband. Later he'll take a car-ride with yet another sexually-reversed pair: black live-sex-show performers Salamandra and Queen Albert. And, throughout, Homer reminisces about his own family's sexual waywardnesses: wonderfully sensual wife Priscilla, raped by her father, later his willing mistress, and ever unfaithful to Homer ('She hadn't even unlocked her trousseau yet, and here she was, balancing the porcine belly on her forehead, serv icing an empire!'); and his Aunt Daphne, who sinned with her brother-in-law, was de-faced by a swarm of bees, and came back years later as 'a fertility goddess.'"--Kirkus reports ; VG/VG.
