...also possesses a daughter named Charlotte, 39, who has been married some 20 years to Horace Nettleship, a dry-as-dust geologist 15 years older than his increasingly unhappy wife. Horace's long research into volcanic lava has convinced him "that Creation has been a more ponderously slow and haphazard process than was suggested by the opening chapters of the Book of Genesis." The resultant loss of his faith in Christianity has left Horace painfully vulnerable to other blows. Bad enough that Charlotte has not spoken to him during the past 15 years of their marriage.

Alas, the '80s have become bedtime for Gonzo, so the occasion seems prime for a chronicle of the show. Saturday Night, subtitled "a backstage history," does remarkably thorough research on incredibly haphazard troupes. Authors Doug Hill and Jeff Weingrad sometimes let enthusiasm get in the way of level judgment--Baudelaire and Blake are cited among S.N.L's spiritual fathers--but their book works up a vivid frontline fever as it relates the conceptual brawls, bad trips on the twin drugs of cocaine and sudden fame, psychological entanglements, romantic skirmishes and perpetual pitched battles with the censors involved in getting...
