This is the 2nd bk by Goulart I've finished TODAY. If I hurried, wch I won't, I cd read a 3rd one. I can't complain too much about a bk where elderly cannibals force a car off the road to eat its occupants only to be stopped by a clown bus that descends from the sky now can I? The mafia that denies its existence is awfully reminiscent of a certain J. Edgar Hoover's stance on such matters. & there's an awful lot happening underground - including concentration camps for liberals - 1 of wch is hidden under where a wife-swapping convention is being held. That sort of thing. ( )

A pleasant entertainment in a dystopian setting. This was a vision of 2002 that didn't work out but Goulart was a humourist rather than a city planner like Brunner. ( )
