The definitive biography of P.D.Q. Bach (1807-1742)? by Peter Schickele
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I have long enjoyed and found hilarious the Peter Schickele hoax/farce of P.D.Q. Bach. I first was introduced through the now defunct Detroit classical music FM station WQRS. After collecting records, I now have enjoyed this detailed and encompassing book-length treatment of the joke. I think it hits my funnybone the same way Monty Python does and I see in reading these old chestnuts that some of this stuff has crept into my own repertoire and become part of my own sense of humor...
