About the author
Neal Pollack
51Ìýbooks121ÌýfollowersNeal Pollack’s first book, The Neal Pollack Anthology of American Literature, was published in 2000, becoming an (almost) instant cult classic. His debut novel, Never Mind the Pollacks, hit shelves in 2003, and was shamelessly promoted by his band, The Neal Pollack Invasion. In 2007, he published Alternadad, a best-selling memoir. In 2010, Pollack became a certified yoga teacher and published Stretch, a nonfiction account of his adventures in American yoga culture. He has contributed to The New York Times, Wired, Slate, Yoga Journal, and Vanity Fair, among many other publications. Thomas & Mercer published his historical noir novel Jewball in March 2012, and debuted his "yoga detective" novel, Downward-Facing Death, in serialized fiction form in September, 2012. His latest book, a time-traveling romantic comedy called Repeat, will be published in March 2015. He and his wife, the painter Regina Allen, live with their son in Austin, Texas.

A quick, fun read by the frequently entertaining Neal Pollock, loosely written in the style of Vonnegut. I've never read the "50 Shades" books (and I'm really interested in ever reading them), but loved the Vonnegut-esque lines, especially the following description of Amazon, that is repeated at different points in the narrative:
"Amazon, a company that everyone said was destroying publishing but was, in fact, not destroying publishing."
"Amazon, a company that everyone said was destroying publishing but was, in fact, not destroying publishing."
