After all, how much trouble can one man, no matter how unusual and prone to social and dating mishaps he might be, get into while engaged in a sedate hobby ordinarily associated with reticence and retirement? In , Zevy, often joined with his usual associates - the Ketel and cran-drinking Lewberg and the misanthropic Goldfarb - weaves tales and vignettes of his time obsessively collecting antique radios. From oldest to newest, each chapter is named after a radio. But after the Table of Contents, all semblance of order and organization, quickly disappear. These radios, in a multitude of beautiful designs and colors, are indeed very real. The stories, however, are pure Zevy - almost the truth. Don't try to figure it out. Just sit back and enjoy.
