"Joe Taylors Pineapple is Chaucer for the Atomic Age: wise, bawdy,
howlingly funny cultural/political commentary on the state of our
stateand rhymed, of course! Aided by able muse Trixie, OBW (Our
Beloved Writer) delivers a rollicking tale of mystery, mayhem,
government shenanigans, lost daughters and writers revenge under a
blistering New Mexico sun in a Los Alamos youll ever after consider
the real Los Alamos. What more could a reader ask of OBW and his
dratted characters? Not a damn thing. Follow line 23, chapter eight
instructions to the T: Buy J Taylors books, theyll improve your
head." -- Kat Meads, author of "For You", "Madam Lenin" & "Ladies:
First".
Pineapple is a tour de force -- marvelously witty, filled with
characters a reader is unlikely to forget, hilarious rhymes and
turns of plot that kept me laughingsometimes hooting -- as I turned
the pages. A novel in verse is a tall order, and Joe Taylor fills
it to the brim. -- Susan Ludvigson, author of "Sweet Confluence"
(New and Selected Poems) and "Trinity".
