Book excerpt: I want to take this opportunity to apologize, in advance, to all those people who are sure to be offended by my novel TAAS: A NOVEL OF THE STANDARDIZED EXAMINATION, even if they have not read it and do not intend reading it. I don't really even know why I wrote it: it just slipped out one night (probably while I was drunk), and I couldn't get it back. I also want to apologize especially to Rick Baber, who honestly thought he was publishing a sequel to Anna Karenina, and only learned much later that it was really TAAS. In addition, my deepest regrets and apologies go to:(They are not listed alphabetically but just how they come into my mind. I am so sorry for that.) The state of Texas All public school teachers All public school students Wal-Mart Count Leo Tolstoy and his descendants Coldwell Banker Realtors The nation of Mexico The nation of FranceThe National Drug Awareness Council (if one exists, which I'm pretty sure it does but I don't know. I'm sorry for not knowing.) George W. Bush Texas A&M University (for so many things) The makers of the movies Rudy, Rudy II, Rudy III, Rudy IV, Scream, and the soon to be released cartoon feature Disembowelment. The Habsburgs The Cathedral of Notre Dame The National Geographic Magazine Darrell Royal The Christian Religion The Methodist Religion The makers of piñatas The Football Coaches of America Association Percy Bysse Shelley Wolfgang Amadeus MozartThe American Association of Funeral Homes and Mortuaries ....and finally, to my family, who now will have to live the rest of their lives in shame. I'm so, so sorry... (Name Withheld)
