Petroleum Man

Bewildered by the odious "liberal democrat" tendencies of his son-in-law Chip, Leon Tuggs-self-made arch-capitalist billionaire, inventor of the ubiquitous and environmentally hazardous Thingie(r), and author of the influential General Theory of Industrial Sex-decides to rescue his grandchildren from a life of indecision and existential anxiety by telling them, for their own good, the things no teacher or parent in our politically correct and morally relative world could ever venture to say. These life lessons are accompanied by gifts-cast-iron replicas of the cars that he has owned-and are juxtaposed with illustrative examples from his own life, a life in cars. Petroleum Man takes Swiftean malice and delight in exposing the vanity and frailty of some of the most popularly held prejudices of our times.Crawford, Stanley is the author of 'Petroleum Man', published 2005 under ISBN 9781585675579 and ISBN 1585675571.
