RARA-AVIS: Re: By the Balls

Thu, 22 Oct 1998 22:15:13 -0500 Mark asked about "By the Balls." I haven't read it yet, but if there's half
as much wit in the prose as in the art on the cover and inside, this'll be
one helluva fun read. It's done to look like a Dell Mapback, right down to
the typography on the opening pages: "What this mystery is about" and all
that. Anyone who loves those old paperbacks has to see this one.

Sample line: "I felt the sweat begin to run under my arms and well up
thickly under the brim of my hat."

Gee, do ya think this might be a parody?
