Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The stories in award-winning author John Sheirer's Stumbling Through Adulthood show the connections between intimate, personal experiences and the broader culture of America during recent years. These stand-alone stories feature a range of characters who reappear in multiple tales like surprise visits from long-lost friends. Some protagonists grow through different life stages, adding depth and texture as they age, change, and adapt. Sheirer's beautiful writing combines realism, struggles, failures, triumphs, relationships, family, work, humor, ethical conundrums, politics, and even a few otherworldly visitors.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Has the United States gone insane Considering the political circus of recent years, the easy answer is 'yes.' But John Sheirer looks deeper to identify the underlying confusion and show us the core American values that can overcome the insanity, let us laugh at ourselves, and find common sense solutions to our nation's confusion. We don't expect political commentary to come in the form of compelling literature, but Sheirer's gentle wit, knowledge of the issues, compassion for his fellow humans, and highly tuned B.S. detector lift this book from being just another partisan rant to a literate and readable examination of our shared citizenship and humanity. 'John Sheirer brings an everyman's approach to any number of issues. Like reading your favorite comic strip first, John's columns take priority over everything else on the Op-Ed page, always making sharp and compelling points without resorting to the sledgehammer techniques of others.' - Bob Flaherty, Morning Host, WHMP-96.9 FM, 2014 New England Radio Personality of the Year, Author of novel 'Puff'.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Another fine book from Meat For Tea Press.'John Sheirer's Stumbling Through Adulthood: Linked Stories showed his immense skill for traditional-length short stories. For Now: One Hundred 100-Word Stories shows equal facility with the microfiction form. These stories range from gentle humor so light it might float off the page in a soft breeze to dense, powerful tales that threaten to sink through the book's cover and bore directly into the earth's molten core. 'Here, in these finely wrought tales, is a universal current of humanity that connects us all.' - Robert Scotellaro, author of Ways to Read the World.'Unsettling in their precise focus, Sheirer's brief and crystalline works sharpen the reader's awareness of the irrevocable. - Gina Barreca, author of They Used to Call Me Snow White, but I Drifted.'With so many big stories in such compact spaces, John Sheirer will titillate and delight you.' - Joshua Michael Stewart, author of Love Something and Break Every String.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Why does your mouth suddenly go dry, your throat tighten, your face get hot, and your knees buckle when you have to address a group of people The old story goes that more people are afraid of public speaking than they are of death. So people at a funeral would prefer to be the person in the casket than the person delivering the eulogy.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Have you noticed that when you re in a bookstore, and you re reading a book of jokes or meditations or moving little chicken-soup stories or deep thoughts, the first few in the book are very meaningful and funny and enjoyable But when you buy the book and take it home, most the ones after that are really lame and just seem to be taking up space. So you have to ask yourself, What kind of a dope-jerk-moron am I for dishing out $11 dollars for this piece of crap. …
