Sobre IBD

The last book by one of the most original, brilliant and under-rated American writers of the 20th century. Like many of Sladek’s earlier books, Wholly Smokes is almost impossible to categorize, other than to say it is the fictionalized history of a tobacco company, one which seems to have been present at, or had bizarre influence on, many of the great moments of history.
