Aaron Zevy's latest short story collection collects the best stories featuring everyone's favorite schmuck, Goldfarb! Along with Lewberg and our erstwhile narrator, their hilarious, and often just plain absurd escapades prove they have little success in staying out of trouble.
The acclaimed humorist treats his audience to a collection of wonderfully surreal tales and imaginings. From Sci-Fi-a-la-Seinfeld in "Ronnie 2.0" to blurred-lines meta in the title story and others, this collection tilts the balance of Zevy’s trademark truth/fiction blend decidedly closer to fiction, to delightful effect.
You think you know the history, but until you turn the final page you won't know the whole story. The lives of Jack the Ripper's final victim and an American Journalist intersect in Victorian London in this exploration of 19th century injustices.
Canada in the 1990s. The approaching referendum on Quebec sovereignty is threatening to cleave the country in two, while a family struggles with the aftermath of a tragedy that changes their lives forever.
When acclaimed comic writer Aaron Zevy began to collect vintage radios, his friends and family hoped they might get a respite from the barrage of short stories which had been filling their inboxes. After all, how much trouble can one man, no matter how unusual and prone to social and dating mishaps, get into?
This collection adds a comic and often poignant twist to the story of the nearly 1 million strong Jews who lived in Arab lands before WW2. But Zevy, the son of an Ashkenazi father and Sephardic mother adds some shtick to his recollections. His Ashkenazi side is the wry, bemused spectator of the antics and entanglements of his other half.
