Genre: Humor
Title: Toolkit in Paradise
AUTHOR: B. Elwin Sherman
Toolkit in Paradise is a collection of the works of B. Elwin Sherman, humorist, satirist and all around American boy. Subtitled “The Self-helpless guide to a decade of American Wit and Wisdom” the collection encompasses some of the best works of the author from 1996 to present day. Sherman is quoted as saying: “I might call myself a printable seriocomic; it’s a given that nothing is funny without springing first from a grave consideration.”
This collection reads like an episode of “Saturday Night Live” or a cherished collection of “National Lampoon,” filled with wit and humor that will amuse even the most serious of readers. The author has an anodyne approach to any subject injecting humor and without insult or condescension. It is a coffee table book for the humor starved that will entertain time and time again.
The collection encompasses several formats including:
Short stories of “Americana” like 30,000 Leaguers under the Sea where baseball enlightens the spirit of a cynical fan and takes him back to the innocents of youth.
Card Tricks, a one act play of seduction and one- liners in a “pick-up” bar.
Metaphoric Poetry in the The Galloping Ghost of Christmas Past or Driving on the Dotted Line and even includes some three line Haiku.
A list of actual rock bands that includes: Chicken Charmers and Drunks with Guns or E Coli and Lost Underpants of Doom.
much, much more.
All will amuse and entertain. Guaranteed to have you laughing out loud. Give the gift of laughter to your friends, family and yourself-pick up a copy today. Highly recommended.
