Mars Needs Lunch is a work of speculative fiction presuming that what sets the human race apart from other galactic life forms is not their compassion, their intelligence, nor their ability to reason--none of which are superlative--but cooking. As dense with surrealist humor as a neutron star, with an unabashed nostalgia for the unfashionable middle west, Jimmy Crater has established himself as a marginal engima in Milky way literature. Mars Needs Lunch is science fiction where science doesn't much get in the way.
