A collection of letters purportedly written by the author's ancestors, from Adam and Eve's crotchety neighbor Larry complaining about their apple crunching through a letter from Funyun T. Nancy II to the Metropolitan Museum of Art alleging that his giraffe looks like Leonardo Da Vinci.
"Who is Ted L. Nancy? He's a concerned hotel guest searching for a lost tooth ... He's a superstitious Vegas high-roller who wants to gamble at a casino in his lucky shrimp outfit ... He's the genius inventor of "Six Day Underwear" ... He's a demanding dramatist seeking an audience for his play about his 26-year-old dog, Cinnamon ... He's the proud owner of Charles, a 36-year-old cat who owes his longevity to a pet food company ... He's a loyal fan of the King of Tonga ... He is, in reality, a twisted prankster -- a supremely off-kilter alter ego who sends patently ridiculous letters and queries to (and receives surprisingly earnest responses back from) corporate honchos, entertainment conglomerates, national publications, politicians, celebrities and heads of state to everyone, in fact, from the president of the Bon Ami Cleanser Company to U.S. Vice President Al Gore."
