Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
This collection of columns by a former writer for the St. Paul Pioneer Press , now with the Newhouse News Service in Washington, D.C., consists mainly of humor pieces, although a few are serious and a couple (about Halloween and autumn) border on the elegiac. The first section, \"Domestic Life,\" deals with the multiple traumas of a novice home owner. \"The Public World,\" offers observations on adult education, air fresheners, mayhem in the movies and audience members who comment on it to their companions. \"Private Life\" discusses incipient baldness and buying a moped. \"Journalism\" contains pieces on the Minnesota State Fair and, most memorably, New York City--not Lileks\' favorite spot on earth by a long shot. The tone is amiable and civilized throughout.

From Library Journal
Lileks won the American Society of Newspaper Editors\' award for Non-Deadline Writing in 1988 while working for the St. Paul Pioneer Press Dispatch . This collection of syndicated columns shows off his skill as a comic storyteller, despite frequent excesses of contrived premises and situations. Rich in hyperbole and metaphorical indulgence, Lileks occasionally struggles for effect. In a description of flooding his car\'s engine while attempting to pass a truck on the highway he writes, \"The engine sank like a fat man stepping into wet cement. At that moment a car appeared ahead, grille winking in the sun like a jouster\'s lance.\" One can\'t help but imagine Joe Friday\'s voice narrating a scene from Dragnet . Recommended, nonetheless, for public libraries.
