         (A brief aside – as a child at camp, I used to play a game called Silent Football, the rules of which are not important except that each player was required to come up with a false name for themselves, and that the leader of the game was always called Mr Dictator. The best name I ever came up with for that game was Mr Richard Tots. )Report

      My parents had that book when I was growing up, and when I was in junior high I read about a quarter of it before putting it down, despite the fact that the mass market paperback edition they had had scantly dressed women on the cover. I remember that I hated the protagonist; I think I may have been too young to have appreciated that satire.

      I had no idea it was connected to Bananas the movie.Report
