Akhmed and the Atomic Matzo Balls
A Novel of International Intrigue, Pork-Crazed Termites, and Motherhood
Iranian president Akhmed teams up with the leaders of Venezuela and Cuba and their American intelligence agents to smuggle radioactive matzo balls into Miami Beach. But intelligence being as slippery a concept to these nincompoops as chicken fat on linoleum, when each member of the gang decides to ladle out his own personal nuke soup, holy terror Akhmed is left steaming. Will his plan to destroy America float like a fly or sink like a lead dumpling?
Star-crossed lovers, conniving academics, and blustery social climbers collide with ravenous termites, international do-badders, and multi-level marketing in a plot as fast-paced and hilarious as a runaway mountain bus. Radioactivity has never been so much fun.
Gary Buslik writes novels, short stories, and essays, and he teaches literature and creative writing at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He is also the author of A Rotten Person Travels the Caribbean.
