An Honest Thief

From the title novella’s political/social treatise by an alcoholic to a fugued selection of three versions of "Killing Jim," Kahn’s fiction will rollick you with its simplicity and–dare one say–insight? Yes, insight. So let Bob into your house to take whatever he needs—what are you, some kind of crass, spiritless materialist? And then find out why the three Sheilas want their three husbands killed—by you? Well, you might just be willing after reading their complaints. Or you might not. But you’ll get laughs and laughs in the interim while contemplating the perfect murder along with the Sheilas and their lovers.

So relax: "My name’s Bob. I’m an alcoholic. I steal things."
