THE THROWBACK

by Tom Sharpe | Read by Geoffrey Mathews

Contemporary Culture • 7.25 hrs. • Unabridged • © 1978

Tom Sharpe usually skewers civilization's weak spots in hilarious dark comedy. Here, he crudely and indiscriminately slashes everything.The package actually bears a warning for offensive language, and even Matthews's engaging voice can't ease the chafed sensation that awaits the listener. D.J. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB 95]
