Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Azzie Elbub, the ever-resourceful, fox-faced demon last seen in Zelazny and Sheckley's If at Faust You Don't Succeed (1993), returns for more mischief in the never-ending cause of Bad against Good. Fresh from winning Hell's Evil Deed Award, Azzie quickly becomes bored and decides to stage a play--an immortality play, to be exact--and to use all of Renaissance Europe as a backdrop. Enlisting the aid of Italian playwright Pietro Aretino, Azzie offers to grant a wish to each member of a randomly selected cast and deviously prove thereby that sometimes people can get what they want without working for it. But with Azzie's old nemesis, the Archangel Michael, meddling in things, the play's course soon turns awry, and a Mongol horde from another timeline is poised to overrun Venice while the universe itself is on the verge of extinction. Zelazny and Sheckley's third visit to their anything-goes Hell-and-Heaven fantasy degenerates somewhat into unstructured silliness. Still, their humor remains intact, and fans looking for pure escapist fun will find nothing more satisfying than Azzie and company's misadventures. Carl Hays
From Library Journal
The second collaboration between two sf veterans continues the comic adventures of demon Azzie Elbub as he strives to bring humanity to the cause of evil through cultural pursuits.

A Farce to Be Reckoned with is the best book that I have ever read. Even though the book starts out slow the fast chapter breaks make it a book that needs no bookmarks. I have read the complete Chronicles of Amber three times and the comedy that he displays in this book can only be compared to the duel with the sphinx. It's a book that will entertain and make you think at the same time. This is a must buy for any Zelazny fan!

This series (Bring Me The Head of Prince Charming, A Farce to be Reckoned With, and If at Faust you Don't Succeed) are, along with A Night In the Lonesome October, the polished works of a master.
I believe that when he wrote these, Zelazny knew he was dying. The writing is sparse, the plotting tight, the works polished before pen went to paper - or that's how they read, anyway. Beautiful, beautiful work.
Put them back in print, dammit!
