Written by Phillip Jose Farmer under the pen-name of one of Kurt Vonnegut's endearable characters, this book travels the universe of society, mores, and our laughable brief time on earth.
"Why is man born to suffer and die" is the rehetorical question. But we visit worlds where the people are simply tires and have to keep rolling to avoid falling over, like upside down turtles... or the blimp world where the men are propelled by farting and "dock" at the extrusions of their women..
and everywhere our time traveller goes, he innocently disrupts societal functioning, as he and his robotic Venus travel the Galatcic mind space continuum.
It's the story of American society struggling to achieve equality between sexes and races, powerful and less-powered, industrial and futuristic endeavors that never cease...
I just reread it and can still laugh out loud as I wonder if those tears are actually laughing tears. For me, it is a classic book of seeking the truth. Oh, since Farmer wrote it, there is some sex involved.... the common thing that never really changes.
