Robert C. Christie Hunter (born Robert Burns) was an American lyricist, singer-songwriter, translator, and poet, best known for his work with Jerry Garcìa and the Grateful Dead.
I love Hunter's work, and this is a special treat. The book is pocket sized, so the prose is written very succinctly, line by line. The alliteration with the common theme throughout this work was clever and cognitively stimulating. I am so glad that I splurged and bought Idiot's Delight, as it is difficult to find. Sometimes sales happen on Ebay, and I was able to find my copy through a German bookseller. Happy reading :)
