Review: Science fiction author, specialising in satire, spoofs and paradoxes, highly imaginative and, in rare moments of non-frivolity, surprisingly dark. "Robert Sheckley is one of the great funny writers." -- Douglas Adams Plot: The classic SF story about a man who is mistakenly treated by a Martian psychotherapy machine.
This little book resurrects a British translation that has long been out of print. While Laughter won't quite explain why the French love Jerry Lewis, or keep you in stitches, it's a bracing read that will make you think twice about laughing the next time someone stumbles into a lamppost. --Robert Burns Neveldine
