"The book includes such treasures as "Fin de Cyclé," a retelling of
France's Dreyfus affair from the viewpoints of Marcel Proust, painter
Henri Rousseau and Dadaist Alfred Jarry (transformed by Waldrop into
rabid bicycle enthusiasts); "A Dozen Tough Jobs," which relocates
Hercules and his labors to rural Mississippi in the 1920s; and
"Flatfeet," featuring mummies, vampires, and proto-Hollywood's finest
Keystone Kops in a series of dryly humorous vignettes."

Two other neat books are reviewed.
