Book synopsis

A Candide-like protagonist stuck in time, at the age of 17, who attracts the attentions of ineffably sinister "primate researchers"-that's the thin premise stretched to unwieldy length in this amiable yet labored futurist comic fantasy by a well-known German graphic artist and playwright. Whimsy accumulates exponentially as "young" Reuben Hecht disappoints parental hopes for his artistic success (as a state-sponsored "official illustrator"), becomes a freelance roadie for the popular singing group Flesh-eating Fetish Bitches, and journeys to a remote "colony" where artificial humans are being created in an alarmingly unconventional manner. Some amusing in-jokes (including a throwaway reference to "a Gustav Meyrink impersonator"), but the "story" sputters out eventually. Vonnegut in his heyday did it better. (Kirkus Reviews)
