Sunburn

The last psychedelic novel? SUN BURN ? art novel involving graphic art from around the world interlaced with an amusing exercise in wit and dry humor involving Porsches, French-speaking aliens, a pipe organ, a Citroen, a master mechanic, lonely beat cop, and a society in which no one seems to do anything (except the bar tender). The book has no sex, no violence, and no bad language, though it does have some French language (translated in the ample footnotes ). 5.5 x 8.25 x 185-page paperback includes 180 art illustrations, including 3 by author. The pump boy pumps gas at a station that only serves Porsche turbos evidently, and the mechanic obviously only works on other cars grudgingly. He is able to repair intergalactic devices, a skill that serves him well in this odd mix of 1950s science fiction and current literary pace. Great coffee table piece and conversation starter.
