<i>The Complete History of America (Abridged)</i> attempts to explain 600 years of history in 6000 seconds - a roller coaster ride through the glorious quagmire of American History, from Washington to Watergate, from the Bering Straits to Baghdad, from New World to New World Order. The past is interpreted as a breathlessly paced sequence of vaudeville sketches, word-association games, puns and parodies of movie and television genres. Nothing is sacred, and many of the facts have been skewed. History has never been this much fun...or as delightfully mutilated!</p>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal">Hilarity abounds in this portrait of three couples successively occupying a suite at the Plaza. A suburban couple take the suite while their house is being painted and it turns out to be the one in which they honeymooned 23 (or was it 24?) years before and was yesterday the anniversary, or is it today? This wry tale of marriage in tatters is followed by the exploits of a Hollywood producer who, after three marriages, is looking for fresh fields. He calls a childhood sweetheart, now a suburban housewife, for a little sexual diversion. Over the years she has idolized him from afar and is now more than the match he bargained for. The last couple is a mother and father fighting about the best way to get their daughter out of the bathroom and down to the ballroom where guests await her or as Mother yells, "I want you to come out of that bathroom and get married!" </p>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal">On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday, Catherine, a troubled young woman, has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions; the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire; and the attentions of Hal, a former student of her father's who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that her father left behind. Over the long weekend that follows, a burgeoning romance and the discovery of a mysterious notebook draw Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: How much of her father's madness-or genius-will she inherit?</p>
