What
people are saying about
Wilber Winkle Has a Complaint!
This
book is hilarious! Wilber Winkle is an American treasure.
-LARRY KING, host of CNN's "Larry King Live"
This is perfect. Who knew? It turns out that reality is the
wackiest cartoon of all. Witness this bizarre and wonderful
collection of correspondence. This book could put me out of
work. If Wilber's pastime catches on, people won't need TV.
They can entertain themselves through the U.S. mail.
-PHIL HARTMAN, concerned comedian and star of NBC's
"News Radio"
[Wilber is] a nebbishy Ralph Nader who confronts the issues
that drive us all crazy. . . . the letters are laugh-out-loud
funny. . . .
-AMERICAN BOOKSELLER MAGAZINE
Wilber Winkle is . . . every man. That is, every man who's
ever been rankled by the corporate machines running this country-or
the stooges that work for them. . . . Winkle proves that the
pen is not only mightier than the sword, but a lot funnier,
too.
-DAVID JASPER, Tampa Weekly Planet
A corporate crusader . . . . [Wilber is] a cross between
Dave Barry and Dilbert.
-ALECIA SWAYSY, ST. PETERSBURG TIMES
Not since Ignatius J. Reilly in A Confederacy of Dunces have
I run into someone this persnickety. I empathize and sympathize
with Wilber. Some might say his concerns are trivial. I think
he has the good of the country in mind. This book made me
laugh out loud on numerous occasions. Hopefully Wilber will
either get into politics or join the "60 Minutes"
team. I do believe this is one person who can finally get
to the bottom of things.
-ANTHONY CLARK, star of NBC's "Boston Common"
At first glance I thought, he is a nut with too much time
on his hands. I still do but I have to say it made me laugh
and laugh.
-LINDA MACK ROSS, author of "The Smart Consumer's
Book of Questions"
Hooray for Wilber Winkle, the Ralph Nader of morons, railing
against all the inanities of day-to-day life. Is there a deeper
message in the ramblings of this contemporary crusader? .
. .
I don't think so. Just sit back and laugh.
-RANDY FELDMAN, screenwriter, Tango and Cash
Wilber Winkle makes Ralph Nader look like Barney Fife! Riotously
funny . . . in Wilber's hands, the business letter is a literary
hand grenade.

7-Eleven" and Baltimore Sun Columnist |
