When Marvin decides that his beloved, aging Auntie Stephanie appears to be losing her marbles, he checks her into the Peaceful Pastures Assisted Living Complex in a small, tired Iowa town, circa 2035, and considers the chapter closed. But he soon learns that a nonagenarian named Rotzinger, the last surviving Cotta man and a former football hero at a defunct local college, is also braving his golden years in that facility. Cotta House was a bastion of male values and 1960s political incorrectness, and Rotzinger still is. So an oddball triangle is formed as Rotz reverently recalls his glory days to Marv and Steph, subsequently elevating them to a higher, albeit crackpot, plane of consciousness through the furball power of his world view, while the trio careens to the most improbable of climaxes. Men of Cotta is a book which will on occasion compel the reader to decide whether to take several moments to sit back and revel in the sheer absurdity of it all, or turn the page in search of the next outrage.
