Has Anyone Seen My Toes?

<b>From the bestselling author of <i>Thank You for Smoking </i>and <i>Make Russia Great Again</i> comes a comic tour de force, the story of one man’s spiraling journey through lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic.</b><BR><BR>During the pandemic, an aging screenwriter is holed up in a coastal South Carolina town with his beloved second wife, Peaches. He’s been binge-eating for a year and developed a notable rapport with the local fast-food chain Hippo King. He struggles to work—on a ludicrous screenplay about a Nazi attempt to kidnap FDR and, naturally, an article for <i>Etymology Today</i> on English words of Carthaginian origin. He’s told Peaches so often about the origins of the world <i>mayonnaise </i>that she’s developed an aversion to using the condiment. He thinks he has Covid. His wife thinks he is losing his mind. In short, your typical pandemic worries. Things were going from bad to worse even before his doctor suggested a battery of brain tests.
