- Summary
- "Nonsense Novels sends up the silliest conventions of the ghost story, the detective story, the rags-to-riches story, the adventure story, the shipwreck story, and, of course, the story itself. Among other things. Here the close cultivation of cliche yields a bumper crop of absurdity and the utterly ludicrous turns up at every new twist of the tale."--BOOK JACKET.
