Friday Reads: Adios, Scheherazade by Donald E. Westlake
Ed Topliss has a problem. His wife has left him and all of a sudden he cannot complete the sex novels that he grinds out to put food on the table. He needs inspiration and why not his own life, with just a few changes. This is absolutely hysterical, a master work, incredibly funny and very much in your face. If you love far-out humor, and realize just what a fine writer Westlake is, you’ll absolutely love this book and realize at the end that this zany creation is very serious indeed.
