The Hood Cooper Story: An Urban Tale

This thing is different than anything else. It’s so expertly vacuolated! It enables me, somehow, to create-to hang my own literary entrails on the skeleton of elemental form. By camouflaging its native interior light, it somehow unveils my own. ＂Weird.＂ -Shauna Reaves (high school English teacher) ＂We sit around at night with Hood Cooper and a stop-watch, and see who can read it the longest without bustin’ up.＂ -Mike Brewster (mechanic) ＂My friends say I’m lying when I tell them I get it. Plus, my parents leave me alone now.＂ -Trevor Langley (seventh-grader) ＂Before reading Hood Cooper; An Urban Tale, I was diagnosed as being clinically neurotic. Reading Hood Cooper did not relieve my neurosis. It did, however, seem to ＂coat＂ it in a kind of paranoiac psychosis.＂ -Skeeter McCoy (meter reader) ＂I like this book. It reminds me of .... my sofa.＂ -Willa-Jean (housewife)
