Summary

A collection of sad stories written funnilyThere’ s no shortage of sadness. There’ s no blaming those who succumb to omnipresent gloom. It’ s today’ s pervasive emotional climate.However, there’ s also enough laughter to go around. At least laughter that comes with a knowing wink, in camaraderie with the many prone to sadnesses.This collection of nineteen short stories hopes to make you laugh. That is: Despite the planet heating up. Despite the constant threat of fascism and disinformation. Despite empires disguised as good guys. Despite neoliberalism’ s false promises and the ruthless competition it demands. Despite the persistent clout of capitalism, unrelenting in its dominion over life, over happiness.Despite, perhaps, a lack of exercise.By the end of the book, laughter finds a purpose, a place in the collective, aware of its rightful target. From sadness to laughter to indignation.But wait there’ s more.Cheers.
