Description: These guys are funny, but unlike the work of most topical humorists, theirs is smart and durable enough to make you laugh long after time has whittled away its topical pegs. Here you will find the Last Supper as hosted by Martha Stewart. Here you will find the Flintstones hilariously transformed into the Clintstones. Here you will find David Mamet's prose rhythms employed for clothes-catalogue sales copy. Obviously wide readers (as well as high skeptics), Seely and Cammuso expose the comic underbellies of our contemporary scoundrels and follies by putting them in classical literary settings: Steinbrenner as Macbeth, Bruce Willis as Holden Caulfield. Their appearances in The New Yorker -- "The Xmas-Files", "Oldfinger", and "Potomac Park", to name a few -- have already won them an enthusiastic audience, especially among young people, and this versatile and original collection is bound to be a lead title in today's hot hardcover humor market.
