In Praise Of Indecency

"Thanks to Paul Krassner for continuing to be the lobster claw in the tuna casserole of modern America."
--Tom Robbins

"The FBI was right; this man is dangerous--and funny, and necessary."
--George Carlin

"Krassner loves ironies, especially stinging ironies that nettle public figures. He would rather savor a piquant irony about a public figure than eat a bowl of fresh strawberries and ice cream."
--Ken Kesey

"He is an expert at ferreting out hypocrisy and absurdism from the more solemn crannies of American culture."
--The New York Times

"I told Krassner one time that his writings made me hopeful. I explained that he made supposedly serious matters seem ridiculous, and that this inspired many of his readers to decide for themselves what was ridiculous and what was not. Knowing that there were people doing that, made me optimistic."
--Kurt Vonnegut
