Book jacket is fragile and chipping in areas Doubleday & Company, 2966, 184 pages What does the Air Force do with an astronaut who announces during countdown that he is "sick of being used!" and then refuses to go to the moon because "it might be bad for his skin!"? What does the Air Force do with a pilot who wants to adapt the plays of Shakespeare for an all-canine cast and "cannot abide a dog that lisps"? In TwINKLE, TWINKLE, ER" KaNe!, it collects them in a rest camp under the command of a top psychologist, Colonel Hudson Kane. But then the mystery only deepens. For who is Colonel Kane? Is he "Gregory Peck in Spellbound" as is suspected by one of the inmates? Or has the astronaut pegged him properly as, "in fact, Shirley MacLaine"? What results from the clash of wills between the mysterious Air Force psychologist and the fey, brilliant astronaut is an "all systems go" situation, cover to cover, filled with hilarity and suspense; laced with chills and surprising poignance. Here is outrageous, offbeat humor with an astonishing depth of meaning. It is a book to be read at least twice.
