What They're Saying
Critics Review
“The FBI was right; this man is dangerous - and funny, and necessary.” - George Carlin “Krassner has the uncanny ability to alter your perceptions permanently.” - The Los Angeles Times “I told Krassner one time that his writing made me hopeful. He found this an odd compliment to offer a satirist. I explained that he made supposedly serious matters seem ridiculous, and that this inspired many of his readers to decide for themselves what was ridiculous and what was not. Knowing that there were people doing that, better late than never, made me optimistic.” - Kurt Vonnegut”
