An Air Force brat, she waitressed nights while raising three kids, hop-scotched around the world for her ex-husband's career and eventually accomplished a remarkable feat: starting and running a successful business, as an American - and as a woman, no less - in an Islamic country. After selling cupcakes to fellow expats in Cairo, she and an Egyptian friend opened a restaurant only to see the business and the friendship go bust. She hung on, learned Arabic and read...

...example, how about a "bad-parenting surcharge." It would work like this. Suppose you come home after a hard day of work, and there is your acne-ridden, foul-smelling brat of a son--if, indeed, he is your son, which is hard to believe--playing video games with his friends. Your living room is strewn with Dorito crumbs and other detritus that doesn't bear close examining. Needless to say, the lawn has not been mowed as promised. How would you like to slug him? Or rather, how much would you like to slug him? You know you shouldn...

"Oscar doesn't need to be in me and my dad's personal business," he barks. "I'm going to say a prayer for Oscar tonight. Like I do every night...

...baby otter, a few robots--who are variously wealthy, clinically depressed, psychotic and gay. It swings, sometimes disconcertingly, from funny to sad and back. In one story arc a wealthy pleasure-loving cat named Ray dies and goes to hell, where he's forced to drive a 1982 Subaru Brat and gets drunk with legendary bluesman Robert Johnson at a Best Western.
