内容简介 The pottering heroes of these hilarious stories never throw in the towel, opting instead for lives of heroic, ridiculous abnegation. Whether by abandoning fame to care for a gymnasium-sized beast, by endeavouring to prove that all history stems from typos, or by harnessing the moon to predict world events, Kruger's characters consistently opt for art over life only to find life, in its most outlandish forms, biting relentlessly back.
