The essays and lighter-than-air verse in Blount's book are somewhat like those famous potato chips: You can't read just one…Public librarians looking for an intelligent, witty addition to the humor collection will discover that this book is exactly what they had in mind.”
Library Journal
"It's my belief that sanity lies in realizing that reality is not exactly what we had in mind," says Roy Blount, Jr. in this witty collection of essays. With humor that is wry, dry, and warm, he delights and provokes us by confronting the reality of American life compared to the way we thought it would be. With his characteristic drawl—or "oral resonance," as he calls it—he reflects on John Wayne, the federal deficit, women's underwear, and more.
