Description:

Trade paperback. From the first line, with its overtones of violence and vernal mourning, to the last confusing paragraph with its intimation that a castle full of vampire sheep may have been involved, Blood In A Snap by Jim Weiler keeps you continuously guessing. Sometimes you are almost sure you know what the author is saying, but mostly you must draw your own conclusions, as the author takes you on a dizzying trip through blood (of course), printing mistakes, drinking, front lawns, making soup, bird migration, learning from the sea, house cleaning, a tendency to long stories cut short, grocery lists, carpentry tools, childrens’ toys, and finally, overweening pride. The author’s bizarre twists of grammar may confuse at first, but by and by you come to accept his linguistic rigmarole — or you eventually give up on Blood In A Snap. WARNING! Before you even think about buying this book, you MUST read the first chapter!

I hurt my brain formatting this for Ramble House and Lulu, and you can too. Because of the inspiration by a certain Al Gorithm there seems to be an overabundance of the article "a", but I think it might be that Al and the man behind Al, Jim Weiler, intended for this book to be read out loud -- with a broad Italian accent. If you can't find an Italian broad, then it might be best to buy the book, put it on your shelf and save it for a slow moment at a dinner party, when you can break it out and astound your jaded and bored guests. Isn't that what Finnegan's Wake was designed for? Now we have our own version without the Irishisms.
