Bruce Jay Friedman Bücher
Dieser amerikanische Autor war bekannt für seinen dunklen, spöttischen Humor und seine pointierte Sozialkritik, die sich an den Anliegen und Verhaltensweisen amerikanischer Juden orientierte. Seine Werke untersuchen häufig Themen der Entfremdung und der Unfähigkeit der Charaktere, sich in das amerikanische Leben zu integrieren, wobei die Protagonisten oft jüdischer Abstammung sind, sich aber sowohl von der jüdischen als auch von der amerikanischen Kultur entfremdet fühlen. Friedmans Schriften zeichnen sich durch ihren Fokus auf absurde Charaktere und Situationen aus, was eine einzigartige Perspektive auf die menschliche Verfassung widerspiegelt.

And in almost all of them, even the most callow among us take something away. This is a book about that something, whether it be major life lessons, like "If you lie, you will get caught," simple truths like, "Flowers work," or something wholly unique like, "Watch out for the high strung brother in the military."This anthology will be comprised of longer and shorter pieces, drawn from an array of impressive celebrities, writers and public figures. Some pieces may be a paragraph in length while others will be full-blown essays. All of them will be about that salient something men take away from a failed relationship. Yes, men learn.This is not a touchy-feely book. This is not a self-help book. This is a book packed with smart, funny and insightful stories from men you probably thought never got dumped, or if they did, would never admit it.
