Thirteen Sick Tasteless Classics

By Jay Dubya

Book Overview

Thirteen Sick Tasteless Classics is adult literature having adult content and language. The work spoofs, satirizes and humorizes thirteen classic stories and chapters from Greek mythology and from American and British literature. Jay Dubya goes right to work retelling some ancient Greek myths such as "Pandora," "King Midas," "Prometheus and Fire" and "Perseus and Medusa." The author also reorganizes Homer's famous chapter from the Odyssey "Odysseus and the Cyclops," and he then creatively combines the two classic stories of "Phaethon" and "Daedalus and Icarus" into a new rendition, "Colliding Myths." Short story American literature is spoofed and analyzed in a new telling of Mark Twain's "The Jumping Frog" and Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart." British literature is not ignored and satirized in retelling versions of classics "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight," "A Robin Hood Adventure" and Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver in Lilliput." Finally, the Bible's "David and Goliath" is retold with a slightly different slant.
