Comments: John Updike and Edward Gorey together in a work designed for the most cynical among us - or perhaps those just tired of the commercialization and over-hype of Christmas. In this miniature book, Updike provides priceless insights: on Santa - "funny rummy smell" and "there is a point where altruism becomes sick"; reindeer - "Fur possibly laden with disease-bearing ticks"; elves - "sweatshop conditions in what must be one of the gloomiest climates in the world." With Gorey's idiosyncratic illustrations on every page!
