Harpo Speaks!

(Limelight). "This is a riotous story which is reasonably mad and as accurate as a Marx brother can make it. Despite only a year and a half of schooling, Harpo, or perhaps his collaborator, is the best writer of the Marx Brother. Highly recommended." Library Journal .

Along the way, he explores the humor-generating capacities of fictional robots ranging from B-9 in Lost in Space to TA...
