Humor, Literary Studies, Social StudiesEven Donleavy himself is reluctant to categorize this book, hinting that perhaps it is still fiction. It's most often found listed as nonfiction, however. A guide to social climbing and survival in the asphalt jungle as only Donleavy could write. Not for the easily offended and wonderfully about as nonpolitically correct as could be. Also rife with illustrations by the author.
