5.0 out of 5 stars The Darkest Humor

I decided to order this because I read once that it was one of JG Ballard’a favorite novels. It’s dated—specifically some minor racist undertones; nothing egregiously offensive. If one can see it for a product of its times, I think it holds up wonderfully. The novel (really a novella) is one long joke that builds to sinister punch that’s worth experiencing for any lover of literature. JG Ballard had good taste, I guess.

I had an old copy of this book which was in tatters and falling to bits. I found it on Amazon and was thrilled! This is a very funny book and one I want to read again. I received it quickly and it was in fantastic condition for a paperback printed in 1972! I was really pleased. Happy with my purchase.

This book has been around for decades but never fails to entertain. Evelyn Waugh does not waste a word in describing the goings-on in an American funeral parlour for dogs! The characters are a hoot and it isn't a bit gruesome. Beautifully written. This particular edition is a very pretty little hardback.
