Editor's review
Frightening, aggressive, dangerous - everything you thought you knew about visitors from space is wrong. MR. SPACEMAN, by Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Olen Butler, will make you wish you could spend more time with his kind. And wait until you meet his lovely wife Edna!
If you're a fan of hard science fiction, this may not be the listen for you. Too irreverent, too giggle-inducing, too, well, fun. But if you enjoy a rich story with plenty of amusing characters and a cynical look at American culture, throw on those headphones and try this one. And speaking of American culture, Arte Johnson, of Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, is the narrator here and does a fantastic job of bringing these characters to life.

"[Butler] balances the playfulness of alien lore with the weight of religion, marrying the comic and the tragic with mastery." (Publishers Weekly)
