Why read it?
1 author picked Flywheel, Shyster and Flywheel as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
From 1932-33, Groucho and Chico (two of my role models) appeared on a radio show aired on NBC. It was about a shady law firm (Groucho is Waldorf T. Flywheel – a fine lawyerly name) and you can imagine how that goes. This book contains the scripts of about two dozen episodes, I think. If you’re a Marx Brothers fan, this is a ton of fun. And if you’re not, then I must believe you’re some variety of filthy lout and I would ask you to stand away from me.
From David's list on The best books on absurdity (to help you deal with an absurdist world).
