About the Author

Hugh Jass grew up in rural Indiana. From an early age, his parents knew there was something unusual about him: his buttocks were swollen to abnormal proportions. Doctors pronounced the bitter truth that his Gluteus Maximus muscles were secreting a rare compound only found in certain insects which swell, quite painlessly, any acute area of flesh. While bullies predictably followed him in school, the use of his enlarged rear end as an impromptu bludgeoning weapon aided Mr. Jass’s passage through life.

Yet the young Hugh wasn’t about to let his hypertrophied backside hinder him through adulthood. At the age of sixteen he founded and appointed himself chairman of the Association for the Rectally Supersized (ARS), which today claims a membership of hundreds. He invented a bestselling range of chairs designed to accommodate those with gigantic behinds, and partnered with a pharmaceutical company who steadily extracted and marketed his bottom’s native chemical to people requiring temporary lip, chest and other enlargements.

Today Hugh Jass likes to act as a sturdy bobsleigh for his four children, and regularly butts in on stranger’s conversations. He rises to a ginormous crack each dawn, and has externalised a lifelong obsession with crevice gorge cave holes. His recent efforts include petitioning astronomers to name a star ‘Myanus-Jass’, on the sole condition it be a Red Giant, and campaigns against collagen as a cosmetic scourge.
