Author Jack Handey has returned with The Stench of Honolulu and a series of book trailers on Funny or Die.
Many readers will remember the humorist’s Deep Thoughts with Jack Handey series of shorts on Saturday Night Live, but he has also written for The New Yorker. Here’s more about his new book:
Handey’s exotic tale is full of laugh-out-loud twists and unforgettable characters whose names escape me right now. A reliably unreliable narrator and his friend, who is some other guy, need to get out of town. They have a taste for adventure, so they pay a visit to a relic of bygone days-a travel agent-and discover an old treasure map. She might have been a witch, by the way. Our heroes soon embark on a quest for the Golden Monkey, which takes them into the mysterious and stinky foreign land of Honolulu. There, they meet untold dangers, confront strange natives, kill and eat Turtle People, kill some other things and people, eat another thing, and discover the ruins of ancient civilizations.
