He Wore Mahagony and Other Tales: The Collected Works of Evan Krajkyk

The most prolific American author of our time, Evan Krajkyk has touched the hearts and minds of an entire generation with books like Cardigan in Winter, Boots, A Rendition, and The Sandstone Outing. Now, for the first time, with He Wore Mahagony and Other Tales, you can have nearly all of Krajkyk’s incredible novels in one amazing compilation.

You’ll get classics like Teapot Bankjob, A Drapery Between, and Motorface. And you’ll get some of Krajkyk’s early books like Simian Timed Out, The Winter Dust of Monaco, and Alice. You’ll get nearly every book ever written by Evan Krajkyk in He Wore Mahagony…., all in one beautifully bound volume.

You’ll get the epic counterculture cop drama easy baRRel. You’ll get the chilling tale of an advertiser turned murderer in Punch Up. And He Wore Mahagony…. even has every book in Krajkyk’s celebrated Krakatowa series (Krakatowa, Back Into Krakatowa, Everything’s Coming Up Krakatowa)

A recent study indicated 73% of all Americans have read a Krajkyk novel. And now you can read one, too. Like A Seventh Gamble, for example. In fact with He Wore Mahagony…., you can read almost all of them. Even Craterjump. All in one book. Which will include The Scented Leaves.

“Evan Krajkyk is without a doubt one of our greatest national treasures,” said former president Gerald Ford in a 1987 Yale graduation speech. “Why, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read and reread books like No One’s Bride, Babyfat Tuesday, and The Shards in Heat. Of course, it was cumbersome to read them in one sitting, because they’re all in seperate books.”

But not any more!

Because with this collection, you’ll get all of President Ford’s favorites and more, all in the comfort of one book. I mean, if you think you’ll buy He Wore Mahagony…. and not get amazing Krajkyk classics like Topiary Showdown, King of Sunday, and Doughfoot, you’re wrong. Because this collection has them all. And it has Saloon’s Is Fuh Gamblin’, too.

So if you think you’ve read a lot of Evan Krajkyk’s work (like Pimpleton, Every Dog a Winner or Simply Finnish) then that’s great. But have you read them all at the same time from one book? Probably not. It would have been impossible. But now you can. With He Wore Mahagony and Other Tales you can read almost every single novel he’s ever written, almost every single page, almost every single word, almost every single twist, almost every single turn. And you need never open more than one single book. It’s all there in this truly incredible new Krajkyk collection. Evan Krajkyk proudly presents He Wore Mahagony and Other Tales, the most complete, most comprehensive, most awe-inspiring Krajkyk collection that has ever been compiled.

(Note: Due to space constraints, collection does not include He Wore Mahagony.)
