STRANGE BOOK TIME: MY SIDE BY KING KONG

I’ve always loved satire, so this book was right up my alley.

I bought this many years ago at Venture (anybody remember that store?) for the huge sum of just 33 cents. Star Books is or was a London Publishing Company and in fact, most of the 33 cent books I bought that day were from English publishers.

“Hear My Side – Fur Can Be Beautiful” reads the tag on the back cover of the book. The Kongster reveals that his first name is “Stan”, talks about his alcoholism, bad hearing, his feud with the C.I.A. and a hernia that not even the best doctors can fix. Don’t even get him started on Fay Wray!

A funny thing happened to him on his way to the Empire State Building….
