内容简介
a survival manual for anyone who has
ever arisen with the conviction that only
by keeping his eyes tightly closed
throughout the day will he perhaps by-
pass the banana peels of fate, dodge the
hurtling anvils of idiocy, and skirt the
open manholes of mayhem--and thus
arrive home again to the safe harbor of
evening and insomnia. Roger Angell s
stratagem is laughter and style. His day
begins in the portentous manner of a
Jim Bishop biographee ("Angell clears
his throat. A thought is on the way to his
tongue. The mouth opens ") and
ends with the midnight discovery of a
Japanese sniper hiding in his pajamas
and the invention of the world s
lonuest nalindrome.
