David P Reiter was influenced by Robert Frost's advice that literature should 'begin with delight and end in wisdom'. The sub-text is there for those who seek it. He is particularly interested in the "battle of the sexes" as it's been compounded by the rise of feminism. 'We have women afraid to be women, and men afraid to be men,' he says. 'In the midst of all this, children happen, and the noose tightens. The only way to stay sane is to learn to laugh at the absurdity of trying to make sense of it all. The best satire does that -- if only people are willing to listen.'
