...appear in movies and are usually portrayed, as here, by Jack Lemmon -Alex is disgruntled, angst-ridden, desperate and about dead-ended. His life is a crumbling edifice that needs some heavy restoration work. What it gets, instead, is a demolition job in the person of one Maritza (Geneviéve Bujold), an aggressively nubile gypsy. You know the type: wild, tough, unconventional, sexy, mystical, earth-spirited-all those things. She also reads palms, tea leaves and the bottoms of feet...
Manhattan-based Pet Astrologers Geneviève and Christopher Cerf produce elaborate "caniscopes" for such superdogs as Dustin Hoffman's Subway and President Ford's Liberty ("As she grows older Liberty will really pour herself into her sexual relationships"). Los Angeles, which not unexpectedly is the epicenter of animalmorphism, boasts a special limousine service for pets, which is patronized by, among others, Redd Foxx's Saint Bernard and Efrem Zimbalist Jr.'s llama.

Otherwise her thoughts are confined to romantic musings about herself and her relationship with God. They are, that is, until she discovers the Augustinian monk (Donald Sutherland) who temporarily takes over as choir director...
This surreal version of a nursery rhyme is from the pen of Geneviève Deschranes, an imbecile French housewife with an abnormally small vagina. Regularly, Geneviève sends twenty-page love letters-disguised as chapters of a novel -to Philippe Perrigny, a second-rate French journalist who believes that lurking somewhere in the depths of perfidious Albion's Mother Goose is a symbolic answer to the riddle of the universe. Philippe in turn is married, as unsatisfactorily as possible, to Shirley Norrington Higgins Perrigny, an odd Canadian girl, and the heroine of this peculiar yet delightful novel...
