Aprašymas
Why Golf is so Exciting! Ever had some dumb hick up and tell you about his round of golf-hole by dang hole? Ever been knocked on your skull real hard by a school bus? The numbing effect is exactly the same. But in Why Golf is so Exciting! along comes the hump-backed Waddell Tiddybumpus to prove-all by himself, thumping along hole by hole-that a Saturday afternoon round of golf at the ol' country club really is one of the most riveting of all human experiences. Of course, what memorable round of golf doesn't involve some sex and violence and insane people? Waddell Tiddybumpus seems to attract the very best of the sport. God forbid if Saturday afternoon golf widows knew what fun their men were really having. Why Golf is so Exciting! is written in a wildly engaging comic voice. In other words, if Dave Barry and the creepiest director ever, David Lynch, collaborated on a golf novel...then Why Golf is so Exciting! would be it. Toonamint of Champions Stairway Press is proud to bring out the paperback version of the acclaimed Toonamint of Champions, perhaps the bravest sports novel ever written, and a 2008 candidate for the Thurber Prize for American Humor. In Toonamint, originally published in 2007, the author Todd Sentell predicted that Augusta National Golf Club, home of the Masters, would one day admit a black woman into their membership. The historic moment happened in 2012. Of course, Condoleezza Rice ain't Toonamint's LaJuanita Mumps, a sort of secretary of state of her own...a state of apocalyptic irreverence...and a constant agitator to her fiance, Waymon Poodle, whose life goal is to play Augusta National Golf Club just one time before he dies. What ensues in this lunatic adventure has never been seen in the history of golf fiction. Frequently compared to A Confederacy of Dunces and I Love You, Beth Cooper, Toonamint of Champions is guaranteed to be the funniest and most raucous book you'll ever read."
