"The Instruction Manual," the first chapter, is an absurd assortment of tasks and items dissected in an instruction-manual format. "Unusual Occupations," the second chapter, describes the obsessions and predilections of the narrator's family, including the lodging of a tiger-just one tiger- "for the sole purpose of seeing the mechanism at work in all its complexity." Finally, the "Cronopios and Famas" section delightfully characterizes, in the words of Carlos Fuentes, "those enemies of pomposity, academic rigor mortis and cardboard celebrity-a band of literary Marx Brothers." As the Saturday Review remarked: "Each page of Cronopios and Famas sparkles with vivid satire that goes to the heart of human character and, in the best pieces, to the essence of the human condition."Binding Type: Paperback

Comfort at a very reasonable price
Color: White, Size: King
These Giza Egyptian Cotton Sheets are as advertised. They are well made, fit nicely, and are extremely comfortable. I would recommend these to any one interested in a comfortable good nights sleep. I should add that they are reasonably priced, as well.

Great sheets!
Color: White, Size: King
These sheets are great. They are thick, which I love, and they stay on the mattress corners. The sheet are perfect in size. My husband and I love to have fans on and these sheets still don’t keep us hot at all even all covered up. I bought the white ones and they wash well. I bought the white because they were on sale.

Not worth the money.
Color: Olive Green, Size: King
The appearance is great when you get them. Feel comfortable. My only complaint is when you wash them and they come out of the dryer they are very wrinkly. I touched them a couple of times and still were wrinkled. I had to iron them.
