Lionel compares Max to Basho but I don't think he goes far enough. Max is a man of his times and history will need look no farther to understand the life of a true poet in late 20th century America. The perfect holiday gift to share with someone you love.

Since I am a scholar, a friend asked if I thought this was the writings read, ravings of an authentic person or a hoax. Literary hoaxes are not my specialty so I can't tell, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book, whatever it is. The freelance writer who edited this collection says that he found the self-published and unpublished writings of Max Kleinman at a garage sale and, impressed by their literary quality, determined to get them into print.

The book IS fun to read. Kleinman's pieces are so short that they never have the chance to grow tedious and are so off-kilter that they engender a perverse fascination. Who else ever thought of making long lists of the things he repudiates? Who but editor Lionel Endenbery thought repudiations worth publishing? Yet they are lively reading. So is everything in this collection. This isn't because Max Kleinman is a great undiscovered writer, as the editor seems to think.

For simple quality, Kleinman gets one star, not the four I have given this book. The pleasures here are akin to the Bulwer-Lytton writing contest for bad first sentences, except it is all bad or, maybe, just maybe it is all a put-on. If this collection is the serious writings of a deranged mind, it is sad and should be studied by literary psychologists. If this is a joke, it is a very funny book.

One person found this helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed every page of this book.

It was hard to hold back smiles and occasional out loud laughter as I read. It is, in fact, the kind of book, collection or whatever you want to call it that makes me feel like reading parts of it out loud to a friend - with or without a shared spliff! Could it be read on stage in a small theatre I hope more material can be unearthed Runny Yolks Naked as the day she was born, She cooks my breakfast Breasts aquiver like runny yolks, Buttocks taut as hams I reach for her when she brings my plate, But she slaps my gnarled hands away "You know I'm running late," she says, And reaches for her habit How could you not brush a few crumbs of this gentle perversity off your lips?

Max is a near-genius, and just a bit sadder for it. Go ahead kid, the first one is free Without a doubt, one of the strangest most entertaining books I've read to date.
