Originally written in 1959, this is the hilariously explosive account of Youngdahl, a novelist, playwright, ex-Mormon, and father of seven. He is a frenzied man who is beginning a letter-writing campaign to escape his curiously ironic situation, and of course, his profession. Along with Abner Klang, his not-so-literary agent who seems to have misplaced the "f" key on his typewriter, Youngdahl joins forces with a Mormon bishop, a TV adapter, and a prizefighter, among others, to spearhead a comic revolution.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Groucho Marx liked it...,
This review is from: Wake up, Stupid (Paperback)
Groucho Marx once invited the author, the San Francisco State college English professor Mark Harris, onto his late 1950's / early '60s TV quiz show "You Bet Your Life". Harris was chosen as a guest because the Marx brother liked the book so much. Groucho's recommendation carries more weight than mine. Enjoy. By the way Mark Harris and his team mate won the show.
