Volume Six in the Thrdgll Vest Pocket Wisdom series presents illustrated essays by Ashley Holt, our American correspondent in Deutschland. Ashley greets the modern apocalypse with his patented morose hilarity, tackling subjects as varied as auto repair, children's entertainment, schizophrenia, litter, vacuuming, conspiracy theories, nuclear devastation, and of course, the urge to flee America. As J. Daniel Abel boldly claims in the book's forward, "One hundred years ago, Ashley would have been writing spots for The American Mercury. When he’s on his game, Ashley can structure a sentence that is artful, pithy, and funny as any by H.L. Mencken."
