In “Commuter Army,” a sly commentary on the ludicrousness of war, a weapons supplier becomes an unwilling conscript in a war zone. “The World is Tilting” imagines a floating city that slowly begins to sink on one side, causing its citizens to reorient their daily lives to preserve a semblance of normality. And in the title story, we see how obscenely absurd the environment on Planet Porno appears to a group of scientists. The stories in \u003cb\u003eSalmonella Men on Planet Porno\u003c\/b\u003e winningly combine madcap hilarity and a sharp eye toward the insanities of contemporary life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47041472168176,"sku":"9780307389152","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780307389152_p0.jpg?v=1763671940","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780307389152","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
