CLAIR'S FAVORITE
Touchstone, $14.00 (unsigned paperback original)
In the not-so-distant future, the world goes to hell in a handbasket: flu epidemic, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, food riots, and the destruction of Washington, DC send Mortimer Tate into a cave with a decade's worth of supplies. Nine years later, he emerges to find a world where the only semblance of order is a chain of strip clubs – Joey Armageddon's Sassy-A-Go-Go – and Mortimer's own ex-wife is one of the main attractions. Mortimer sets out to find his wife, and gets caught up in a post-Apocalyptic showdown in the skyscrapers of Atlanta. It's horrifying, funny, surprisingly poignant, and all too plausible; Gischler is a twisted genius.
