''I had a hunch that madness was a predominant theme and normal condition for Americans living in the second half of this century'' Charles Willeford

Willeford''s pulp classic features six incisive tales as fresh as the day they were first published in 1963. Writing at a time when we still had some faith in our elected leaders, Willeford laid bare the American Dream - and 50 years later his revelations are as chilling and relevant as ever.
