Kovacs was shown on PBS in Chicago in the 70’s, and was formative to my sense of humor. Monty Python was shown there, too, and had a similar effect.

Tangent:
The Hungarian language uses “cs” as a “ch” sound, as in the automobile expert Csaba Csere’s name. The horsedrawn coach was invented in a Hungarian town named Kocs, which gave the invention its name.

Loved Kovacs playing Sidney Redlitch, among other roles. I’m glad this book will be easier to get!
