Drawn from life's raw materials and his own fertile imagination, The Man Who Turned Back the Clock is a delightful yet provocative collection of short stories as only Steve Allen could write them.

In addition to the title story, readers will find The Humor Strike; It's Nice to See You Again; The Day the Jews Disappeared, addressing anti-Semitism; The Sunday Morning Shift, focusing on the scandals of money-grubbing evangelists; The Jensen Theory, which takes a look at racism; The Girls on the Tenth Floor; Allen's whimsical Point of View; and many more. Readers will find in some the surprising twists and turns of an O.Henry yarn.
