Wholly
Smokes
John Sladek |
The last
book by one of the most original, brilliant and under-rated American
writers of the 20th century. Like many of Sladek's earlier books,
Wholly Smokes is almost impossible to categorize,
other than to say it is the fictionalized history of a tobacco
company, one which seems to have been present at, or had bizarre
influence on, many of the great moments of history. David Langford
of Ansible was the editor of Maps,
a collection of Sladek's previously uncollected short stories
published by Big Engine in 2002 to wide critical acclaim, and
reissued by Cosmos Books in 2003. Ansible's e-book of Wholly
Smokes has been fully authorized by John Sladek's estate,
who have helped ensure that the text is complete and accurate, and
presented in the form Sladek intended. This includes his own
indescribable clip-art illustrations.
