As Lord Byron, who no doubt survived many an awkward situation himself,said, “Always laugh whenever you can. It is cheap medicine." In the Glow of the Lavalamp delivers ten stories of sex gone hilariouslywrong, set in the bathtubs, back seats, battlegrounds, and bedrooms ofAmerica. These tales confirm that bizarre is indeed the nature of theuniverse and humor may be the best path through it. A grad student rappels down the side of a building on a bed sheet in anattempt to escape shame. An unlikely couple destroys a family heirloomwhen desire careens out of control. A bumbling lothario nearly beheads hislover when his seduction plans go awry. A middle-aged woman findsherself entwined in a passionate embrace at a Civil War battlefield.Earnest people, hell-bent on believing that reality lies at the surface ofthings, scramble toward acceptance of their humanity as they stumbleover the unspoken and unacknowledged. You'll laugh, grimace, maybe even shriek with recognition. Odd as it mayseem, tales of bad sex and other misfortunes can restore your faith inhumankind, in your ability to weather the chaos of life, and in the healingpower of laughter. Light and redemption glitter among the catastropheswithin these pages.
