Ted L Nancy is a fictitious author who has published a few things.

The book is a compendium of actual letters Ted has written to businesses, hotels, restaurants, Fortune 500 companies, etc....the letters are ridiculous, sometimes incoherent, and complete nonsense.....the humor is in the actual responses he gets from these companies.

It is one of the funniest books I have read in a long time.
That sounds a lot like The Lazlo Letters, a book written several years ago by Don Novello, the guy who played Father Guido Sarducci on SNL. It was a hysterical book.

For humorous fiction, I enjoy Carl Hiaasen and Elmore Leonard.
