Tails of Manhattan by Woody Allen
Two weeks ago, Abe Moscowitz dropped dead of a heart attack and was reincarnated as a lobster. Trapped off the coast of Maine, he was shipped to Manhattan and dumped into a tank at a posh Upper East Side seafood restaurant. In the tank there were several other lobsters, one of whom recognized him. “Abe, is that you?” the creature asked, his antennae perking up.
“Who’s that? Who’s talking to me?”…

The Euphio Question by Kurt Vonnegut
The Euphio Question by Kurt Vonnegut. A short story from “The Monkey House”, (1968)
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN of the Federal Communications Commission, I appreciate this opportunity to testify on the subject before you.
I’m sorry—or maybe “heartsick” is the word—that news has leaked out about it. But now that word is getting around and coming to your official notice, I might as well tell the story…

Galàpagos by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. (Book Review)
Gal��pagos by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. is the story of a small group of people with nothing in common who somehow get together for “The Nature Cruise of the Century,” only to find themselves stranded and the last hope for the human race.

FREE BEER by Jason M. Thornberry
They called him Dyno Dave. Dave dyno-tuned classic cars, analyzing the roar of metal on metal, listening for imperfections only he could hear. His ear was perfect, like a conductor overseeing an orchestra, detecting a sour note from a stray violin.
But Dave didn’t wear protection, and the ceaseless volume macheted a forest of cochlear hair cells in his ears—those sensory receptors that convert…

Christmas '59 by John Hughes (National Lampoon)
All in all it was a pretty exciting Christmas, what with the relatives and the presents and the fun and the cops and Aunt Hazel’s dog blowing up in our living room. Mom and my Aunt Martha wanted to have one of those fun old-fashioned Christmases that people on TV have, where everybody wears ties and sweaters and sits by the fireplace and makes Christmas-tree ornaments out of food. But as Dad…

Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk (Excerpt)
Nobody burst onto the scene more explosively than Chuck Palahniuk back in 1996 with his breakthrough novel, Fight Club. And the 1999 movie directed by David Fincher wasn’t too shabby, either. If you’re one of the few people who hasn’t read Fight Club–or you’re like me and you just can’t get enough–here’s a little taste. Just remember the first rule of Fight Club.
Tyler gets me a job as a waiter,…

Charles Bukowski by Robert Crumb
It just seems fitting that Robert Crumb and Charles Bukowski would find themselves working together at some point. In the 1980s, they joined forces in the two Bukowski books, Bring Me Your Love and There’s No Business.
Crumbs most famous works include his Keep On Truckin’ strip, and strips featuring characters such as the bohemian Fritz the Cat, spiritual guru Mr. Natural. But enough already; the…

Life in a Texas Whorehouse by Charles Bukowski
In Life in a Texas Whorehouse by Charles Bukowski, the author opens with, “I got off the bus in this place in Texas and it was cold and I was constipated.” Eventually, in just a few days, he manages a bowel movement: “I went back to the hotel, got hold of a pint of whiskey and 5 or 6 quarts of beer, and I finally shit — what a joyful act!”

The Banshee Screams for Buffalo Meat by Hunter S. Thompson
The following memoir by Dr. Thompson is the painful result of a nine-week struggle (between the Management and the author) regarding the style, tone, length, payment, etc. — but mainly the subject matter of the National Affairs Desk’s contribution to this star-crossed Tenth Anniversary Issue.
And in at least momentary fairness to the Management, we should note that the term “star-crossed” is Dr.…

HARRISON BERGERON by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren’t only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of…
