Book Description
When Helen and Harold awake one morning transfigured into each
other, their world is thrown into chaos. Will the hostile
mother-in-law who refuses to believe that the pregnant woman is not
her daughter, but her daughter's husband, help solve their dilemma?
Will their burned out pastor offer them spiritual comfort? Can the
idealistic social worker who is also a fierce karate expert be a
source of pragmatic advice? Is a famous transvestite lawyer able to
provide them with legal aid? Will Harold opt for an abortion to
avoid subjecting his offspring to the stigma of having a mother who
is really its father? The reader will alternately roar with
laughter and shake her/his head in disbelief as one bizarre episode
follows another, blurring the lines between the sexes, as well as
those between reality and appearance. With THE CONCRETE LIONS, Don
LoCicero joins the exalted literary ranks of Franz Kafka, Nikolai
Gogol, Joseph Heller and Woody Allen.
