A Match for Doctor Koekentapp
Author: Allen Kayle
Publisher: Penguin Random House South Africa
ISBN: 1415203172
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
And now for something completely different on the South African book scene: a slapstick Jewish comedy set in the Joburg northern suburbs. GP Dr Koekentapp is called to the Levy home to attend to a Mr Levy's kidney stone. Mrs Levy sets her eyes on the young doctor, spots the perfect marriage material for her daughter Sylvia and is delighted when the two of them are immediately attracted. But to her horror, Mrs Levy discovers that Dr Koekentapp is not Jewish. The tale complicates, involves her scheming and plotting to convert him to Judaism (witness the scene where he is circumsised to the accompaniment of a Scottish pipe band), the bizarre roles played by her family and friends to achieve this end, and the frenetic interference and bewildering hitches in his life and medical practice. Broadly funny and ribald comedy that delights in lewd word plays and allusions in which goy and Jewry alike will find common purpose. Is this another Tom Sharpe?

The Eagle Strikes
Author: John P. Kincaid
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 059518460X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
The Eagle Strikes weaves terrorism, conflict, libido, bigotry, technology, and suspense into a fact-filled fictitious novel. When The Eagle set his goal of Universal Freedom for all Mankind, he expected objection and misunderstanding, but he also knew people tired of accepting corruption in government as a way of life. A prominent and catastrophic event showing total lack of government control could easily incite rebellion. He would provide that event, and another step toward a second Golden Age of Freedom would be complete. An exceptionally well structured thriller, full of suspense, and believable. Both the climax and resolution are highly satisfying.
