Return of the Bunny Suicides #[nn]

Andy Riley's deadpan wit is on full display with this bright green cover, where a tiny, wide-eyed bunny stands stoically among bowling pins as a massive bowling ball hurtles toward it — the gag setting the tone perfectly for the collection within. A blurb from Hugh Grant declaring it "brilliantly researched — one of the most important books of the year" adds a wonderfully absurd layer of mock-prestige to the whole affair. If you appreciated the original, this 2005 follow-up from Penguin promises more of Riley's charmingly morbid, minimalist humor.
