by Jules Feiffer This satirical novel follows the humorous, existential rise and fall of a narcissistic lothario, Harry, from his family's endless bounty of love and hope. Feiffer's brilliant modern fable comments less on the anomie of narcissism, and more on the insecure desire of the world to find a charismatic messiah. Originally published in 1963, this scathing satirical tour de force touts America's love for chiselers and rats!
