The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

Now celebrating the 42nd anniversary of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, soon to be a Hulu original series! Douglas Adams is a terrific satirist.The Washington Post Book World Facing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons? Time for a cup of tea! Join the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his uncommon comrades in arms in their desperate search for a place to eat, as they hurtle across space powered by pure improbability. Among Arthurs motley shipmates are Ford Prefect, a longtime friend and expert contributor to The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the three-armed, two-headed ex-president of the galaxy; Tricia McMillan, a fellow Earth refugee whos gone native (her name is Trillian now); and Marvin, the moody android. Their destination? The ultimate hot spot for an evening of apocalyptic entertainment and fine dining, where the food speaks for itself (literally). Will they make it? The answer: hard to say. But bear in mind that The Hitchhikers Guide deleted the term Future Perfect from its pages, since it was discovered not to be! Whats such fun is how amusing the galaxy looks through Adamss sardonically silly eyes.Detroit Free Press
