Laughing with the Victim: An Absurd and Funny Short Story Collection (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

This is a short collection of four funny and absurd short stories. In "The Miniature Circus Act", a small circus worker is on his first flight ever. Things take a turn when there appears to be some kind of malfunction. They need someone quite tiny for the job, it seems.... In "The Lion in Human's Clothing", Murdock is forced to confront an intruder in his own home. The intruder has quite a strange request, as he wants to settle the score on a chess game they played once when they were children.... In "The Crank Artist", we have a man who pulls a crank everyday at work, but he has no idea what its function is. His one true dream is to be a famous writer. Will such a man have any chance? In "The Originality Destroyer", Rick Beelor signs up for a $2000 seminar to improve his writing. He quickly grows suspicious when he finds the teacher is a 17 year old kid who claims to be quite a prodigy. The advice and methods he uses to instruct are quite unorthodox (they involve a piñata and slapping students in the face when they get a question wrong).
