	Daniel Pinkwater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pinkwater tends to write books about (frequently obese) social misfits who find themselves in bizarre situations, such as searching for a floating island populated by human-sized intelligent lizards (Lizard Music), exploring other universes with an obscure relative (Borgel), and discovering that their teeth can function as interstellar radio antennae (Fat Men from Space).
		Pinkwater is also known to avid fans of the NPR radio show "Car Talk", where he has appeared as a (seemingly) random call in.
		Pinkwater offered a combination of truly humorous insight into the physics of the buttocks, and practical advice as to the choice of automobiles.

		Phillip Pinkwater was met at the boat in Manhattan by two expatriate Polish mobsters, each of whom placed the barrel of a large gun against one of his temples and strongly suggested he not tarry in the Big Apple, but that he continue west.
		Daniel grew up thinking that normal attire for a grown man was a wide-lapeled, double-breasted suit, a gaudy, handpainted silk necktie, a flashy shirt with large bejeweled cufflinks, a silk pocket handkerchief, suspenders, garters, fl-and-white wing tips, a shiny manicure, a large pinky ring and (except for his father), a shoulder holster.

		When Pinkwater started out as a children's author, he assumed that his audience would be mostly kids like himself: bookish, slightly maladjusted, with a 10-dollar vocabulary and a taste for the bizarre.
