Over thirty years after its original publication, Preposterous Papa is more touching and zany than ever, an unforgettable portrait of a father by his son. The book is a glowing portrait of Oklahoma... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I read this book about 20 years ago. I live in Sapulpa and drive by the Meyers property everyday. This makes this book more interesting. I a copy of it for my children to read. I think they too will enjoy it. The little houses on the farm are still standing and so is the flag pole. It is a neat book about past history.

A good laugh and an easy read

I first read this book about 30 years ago when my mother though I was old enough to appreciate the likeness to my father. She and I howled comparing Preposterous Papa to my Papa and it is one of the few books of childhood that I wanted to reread. When it was rereleased recently, I had to read it again, and appreciated it on a very different level with much Jewish and adult inuendoes that I know I didn't catch the first time. I recommend this book to anyone from a small town or who has any family member engaged in real estate, construction, retail sales, speculations, hired help, or who just wants to laugh.
