Of Mice and Me

Poor Wildman Weiner. Only seventeen, and already he's thinking, Is that all there is? But it's about to get worse! For unwittingly, the nerd has taken some bogus aptitude test in junior high that reveals a talent for — of all things — Science! The next thing he knows, he finds himself enrolled — along with thirty other dweebs — in an accelerated program of college level biology, whose aim it is to turn him into an even bigger nerd! The Humanity of it! Soon enough, juvenile hi — jinx and juvenile justice collide in this uproarious memoir of high school daze, as our hero struggles desperately to avoid the attentions of his teacher — while dreaming of the attentions of a well endowed fellow student. No, not a guy! A babe! Anyway, right from the get go, it's all he can do to maintain his sanity, as he is encouraged to experiment on cute and tiny defenseless lab animals — while day after day, platitudes bellowed through his teacher's brown stained teeth exhort him to mold his mind into that of a moldy scientist — in order that someday he might make great discoveries! But the only thing Wildman wants to discover is how to party — and how he can get his "mendacious mitts" on classmate Francine's "glorious globes of glee!" But when Wildman discovers Francine's interests are more penal than penile, he becomes despondent — until he discovers his real mistress! And what he then does to his teacher, his class, and the world of Science, can only be listed in the anals of crime! That's right. You read that correctly! So, c'mon. Get with it! Here it is in all its ignoble glory — Wildman Weiner's infamous account of those years we all sufferthrough! So enjoy! Life's short — and so's this book. But worth every damn cent! Ciao!

Author Biography: Incarcerated at the age of six in the corrective labor camps of the American gulag commonly referred to as public school — where every day was a never — ending battle to survive a brutal system of punishment, coercion and lousy cuisine — Wildman Weiner did his time like a man, even though he was a kid. By the time he left Brooklyn's PS (Penal System) 138 and reached high school (by bicycle), what he would learn within the gray drab walls of the Big House would serve him well. Here then, is the shocking and unremittingly lurid saga of one young man's battle to not only survive his youth, but to vanquish all adversity — and triumph over all that is evil and corrupt. In other words, "teachers", "parents" and "friends". Anything else you might need to know about the author, you don't. And if you recognize any of your own experiences within this classic work of American Literature, that's your problem.
