The Saddest Summer of Samuel S

by J. P. Donleavy

  For all those in the monstrous volume of Who Ain’t, ass-kissing and other types of flattery are fully covered plus dying and suicide if neither of the previous wiles help you. For those wanting to polish their fastidiousness, items deal with farting, nose picking, right down to placing the blame for a dose of clap. In these times of social upheaval, those on top need to know as much about how to stay up there as those on the bottom need to know about learning how to climb, and The Unexpurgated Code gives equal advice to both. To any true lover of the human spirit, this will be a recipe of behavior to follow.
