Customer Reviews

Look out Melville, Dickens,etc. Here comes Gnojewski!

"Cinco de Mayo" is a masterpiece of literature, the great American novel. Nothing else Gnojewski has written is even in the water with it. Steibeck can't touch it, and no giant's shoulders would let Faulkner wade near it. Gnojewski invokes Hegel, Ibsen, and Kierkegaard to explain novel concepts, i.e "Jomo Kenyatta rhymes with pinata", "...did you know that the Pueblans made beefalo jerky, too, just like our own Plains Indians?", and "Benito Juarez was a skilled helicopter pilot who also invented the water balloon." Just think ---- If the French had won, we'd be eating frog legs with our tacos! Kudos to you, authoress Gnojewski. You done good!
