The Exerciser by Howard Albrecht
From those classics days of the 1970s comes this hilarious satire. A STORY OF FAT AND THE DEVIL This book has it all: the diets, the devil, witch-craft, religion, and one man's struggle to save his wife from the horrors of her own rapidly in-creasing bulk. Only the most extreme measures will save his beloved wife. Week after week she grows fatter and fatter, without benefit of knife and fork. Who can help her? When all else has failed, he must call in the powerful high priest of physical fitness and sensible eating-Romaine LeLane, The ExerciserSol Weinstein, creator of the Israeli Secret Agent Israel Bond (Oy Oy Seven) thrillers, was asked to sum up his illustrious career in three sentences. Kiting checks take between 1 1/2 and 3 months... Two and a half months in prison for illegally inspecting kites at a Tokyo children's show... and one week for removing infamous forger Stepan Novotny from the top of the Prague National Bank. In addition to his capers in Loxfinger, Matzohball, On the Secret Service of His Majesty the Queen, and You Only Live Until You Die, Oy Oy Seven wrote a profoundly poignant piece of music and lyrics for The Curtain Falls, sung by Kevin Spacey in his role as Bobby Darin in the movie Beyond the Sea. Sol currently resides in New Zealand, is a member of Temple Sinai in Wellington, and pronounces kiegel rather than kugel when referring to a favorite ethnic dish.
