The Ferrari in the Bedroom Reissue edition
Jean Shepherd
Jean Shepherd was one of America?s favorite humorists, his most notable achievement being the creation of the indefatigable Ralphie Parker and his quest for a BB gun in the holiday classic A Christmas Story. But he was so much more, a comic Garrison Keillor?like figure whose unique voice transcended the airwaves and affected a whole generation of nostalgic Americans.
The Ferrari in the Bedroom is Shepherd?s wry, affectionate look at the hang-ups and delusions of Americans in the 1970s. From his sardonic assessment of fads such as the nostalgia craze (?Thinking that the old days were good is a terrible sickness. Everything was just as bad then as it is now.?) to a modest proposal for the foundation of S. P. L. A. T. (The Society for the Prevention of the Leaving of Animal Turds), Jean Shepherd provides a generous measure of his special brand of wise and warm humor as an antidote for some of America?s more ridiculous obsessions.
