Description:
'Within the confines of these tight, hard-edged forms, Turner Cousteau compresses the precise observations, wry perceptions, and worldly wisdom of metaphysical wit. He surveys a variety of subjects--often warily, usually with dry humor--air travel, 'scenic' spots at home and abroad, a comic book fair, theatrics in a leather bar, the Bride of Godzilla, 'Dr. Jekyll and Dr. Jekyll.' 'Scheherazade in South Dakota.' Alphonse unenviable task of completing Turandot--finding incongruities and ironic connections which his agile mind fashions to curious effect.
