It is not difficult to understand why he regrets it, since The Horse Is Dead is by all odds the bluntest, nastiest, most vulgar, most vicious, most sado-masochistic work of fiction to come along in some time. "Robert Klane is one of the funniest writers to appear on the scene since Max Shulman penned Barefoot Boy with Cheek.He is also probably one of the most hilariously bawdy authors since Joseph Heller mad ribald fund of the Army in Catch-22, in fact, if one were to characterize Klane, one would have to say that he is a Max Shulman spiked heavily with the Marquis de Sade"-Jim Bishop, Winston-Salem Journal- Sentinel. Jack Benny says: "undoubtedly the funniest book I've ever read".
