In nine life stories, a hapless scientist narrowly avoids being aborted in post-war Vienna, enjoying a threesome with two nuns, destroying the fishing industry in Atlantic Canada and, among other misadventures, being accepted by a legitimate publishing house. As one editor put it in his rejection; "it's not that we don't like your stories, it's just that we like other people's stories more." Köller has a way of snatching humor from the jaws of defeat in his life and career as a marine biologist. A must read for anyone who ever thought scientists know what they are doing.
