Tar BabyPaperback, 1 July 1995

Cast in the form of a hilariously ribald parody of a literary quarterly, ?The Tar Baby?is a brilliant, audacious, story-filled novel populated by an array of brawling academics and earthy townies. A commemorative issue honoring the late Anatole Waxman-Weissman, the book/journal parodies a number of academic fads and concerns as the various contributors expose their and their subject's many idiosyncrasies while pursuing their own private agendas.
