• Used Book in Good Condition

It is the 1930s in the American Midwest. Buddy Sandifer, dressed in his natty white flannels, baby-blue shirt, striped tie, tan-and-white shoes and coconut straw hat with polka-dot band, is falling into one of his moods. <P>Owner of a used-car lot and father of a 15-year-old son with a penchant for sex manuals, Buddy has decided to murder his wife and marry his mistress Laverne. A robust blonde, she cooks his favorite meal of fried pork chops while wearing a short pink apron over black lace step-ins and brassiere, silk stockings and platform shoes. Buddy's only problem is how to arrange the crime. <P>"An exquisitely constructed novel, full of secrets and surprises...exhilaratingly bawdy and tricky...Berger's tenderest, most touching work."
