“There is something wrong with a world in which Russell Greenan is not a household name. […] Beginning with “It Happened in Boston?” in 1968, a Greenan cult formed. I didn’t stumble upon it until a few years later when the perverse pleasures of the irresistibly titled “The Secret Life of Algernon Pendleton” sent me in search of any other Greenans available. […] Doubtless I won’t be able to convince everyone that Russell Greenan is a genius at macabre comedy, but those who go off to find his books will decide for themselves—that is, if they’re not too squeamish, or too ticklish.”
