VERY RARE! "Free speech no longer exists in America!" So says Mancow Muller, one of the nation's most famous radio personalities and the man who shut down the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge as a political act. Mancow is the creator, writer, and ringmaster of what has been called the "funniest, fastest-moving, and most diverse radio show in history," Mancow's Morning Madhouse, syndicated nationally from Chicago. He has received so many prestigious awards for excellence in radio that his arm is constantly sprained from patting himself on the back. With political commentary, comedy bits, and whatever else comes into his head, Mancow also appears regularly on Fox News Channel's morning program Fox & Friends. And now, in his first book, Dad, Dames, Demons, and a Dwarf, Mancow rushes headlong into an adventure cross-dressed as a memoir. When Mancow loses his dad -- his number one fan -- to cancer, he has a meltdown, spiraling down Freedom Road on a nonstop death ride: racing the autobahn at breakneck speeds, inhaling Amsterdam's pleasures, narrowly escaping an illegal visit to Castro's Cuba, suffering a near-fatal nervous breakdown, and cavorting under dog piles of women. All of these adventures send him on a mind trip through his past. Terrorist teachers, hellfire preachers, and jails masquerading as public schools attack his intelligence and independence. But Mancow resists, screaming, "I'm not like everybody else! I'm not another brick for your wall!" Mancow questions everything! "Do we already live in a police state?" "Must individual spirit be crushed?" "How much is that woman in the window?" "Who will join my fight against dwindling freedoms in this so-called Land of the Free?" "Do you want to get laid?" Finding his soul again, he discovers a strange new freedom that only members of The Dead Dad's Club can understand. In this, his first humble masterpiece, Mancow wakes people up, makes you laugh, makes you think, makes you feel. Described as "a combination of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and Don Quixote, but with more sex," Dad, Dames, Demons, and a Dwarf takes you on a journey that kindles your independent spirit and knocks you to the floor with laughter. Muller's first book is part memoir and part three-ring circus, a mirror of his Chicago-based syndicated radio show, "Mancow's Morning Madhouse." With its rapid-fire, hyperventilating prose, it resembles a transcript of the motor mouth that made him famous rather than a coherent narrative, as Muller regales his readers with stories of prostitutes, stunts that go bad, pigeons blowing up and, incongruously, touching memories of his beloved late father. A lot of time gets spent on puerile, even offensive stuff-Muller brags of sleeping around ("If I put notches on my rifle for every woman I've been with I wouldn't have a gun anymore") charging people money to look at his bowel movements, the benefits of fame ("success draws women like car grilles attract deer") and his apparently rare ability to "pee in two streams." In a section on traveling in Germany, he writes, "As we eat our Big Mac breakfasts, I watch Berliners dipping fries in mayonnaise. Huh? Anyone who likes that swallows." But despite Muller's crudeness, his stories can sometimes be affecting, showing some of the compassion that helped him become popular. During one of his shows, a paramedic calls in about to commit suicide, and Muller recounts how he tried to comfort him while a colleague called the police. When police find him "hanging from his belt in the paramedic van," Muller wonders, "Did I let this man die? God forgive me. Anonymous voices on the radio, the last place he could reach for help." Fans of the radio show will enjoy this peek into Muller's travels, his sexcapades, his shows and his radio life, and will be as startled as if they were listening to him live; other readers beware.
