I was excited to receive this book because it was listed as containing a story about quilting becoming an Olympic sport - sounds intriguing! Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The stories are all fresh and interesting, putting a new, fun twist on usual situations, making them delightful to read. I highly recommend this book. Tämä arvostelu kirjoitettiin LibraryThingin Varhaisia arvostelijoita varten. I was really looking forward to this collection because I love comic writing. Now the interesting thing is that many of the essays herein start from what are wonderfully funny ideas - a diva musical page turner, a working men's joint for the discussion of high art and literature - and they are almost all well executed but, and it is a big but, they are not as funny as they could be and should be. Comic writing is difficult, as a writer I know this only too well but when compared to the big boys of comic literature Mr Fedo comes up short. I suspect that if he spent more time on each piece and had an editor with a real ear for the comic then many of these pieces could be brought up to top notch. Three stars for effort and basic premise. näyttää 3/3 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
The 27 stories in Michael Fedoâ??s collection are whimsical, satirical, and laugh-out-loud funny. They are wide-ranging: a chance meeting in Hannibal, Missouri of the James Boys where Frank and Jesse encounter William and Henry; Mozart in the mosh pit; a mortuary tv infomercial; quilting as an Olympic sport; a working-class bar at which patronsâ?? harangues center on poetry and art instead of pro football or monster truck competitions: a nursing home where modern residents demand punk and classic rock music from visiting entertainers, rather than the syrupy standards of decades past. Interspersed throughout the book are witty riffs on media critics of music, literature, and art, along with other surprises and gu Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
