Here is Mr. White's long-awaited collection - stories, poems, sketches, parodies, essays, and comments, covering the past, the present, and the future, the city, and the country. In it you will find many that become favorites: pieces that hae not before been available in book form, such as "The Song of the Queen Bee," "The Morning of the Day They Did It," and "Death of a Pig." Almost all the material in this collection appears for the first time in book form. Mr. White has selected for inclusion the pieces (of whatever nature) written over the past that he thinks stand the test of time. They add up to an illuminating commentary on the state of the union, as well as the state of one man's mind.
