Title: Looks funny, but isn't
Product review: I generally love bizarre surrealistic stories full of odd characters, but only if they have fun.This novel's protagonist, Mary Jane Shady, has no fun at all when she returns home toUncertain, Texas after 20 years in show business, chiefly as Miss Butter Cup in a series of peanutbutter commercials. Mary Jane suffers continual delusions due to emotionaltrauma imposed by a high school boyfriend. Not to be disgustinglyspecific (although the author was), but the trauma involves sex and a germanshepard. I didn't laugh at all, folks. The eccentricies of the people of Uncertain arecompelling, but ultimately don't matter because Mary Jane is so sunken inmisery that current events fail to reach her. I'm glad I checked this one out of thelibrary rather than paying good money for it.
