Happy Accidents
HAPPY ACCIDENTS Volume One: Offbeat Personal Essay-Stories Exploring the Irony in the Ordinary
"Well written, imaginative. A great way to spend a few hours." --BookBitch.com
Quietly hilarious. Deceptively meaningful. These humorous personal essays reveal the irony in the seemingly ordinary events of life.
Whether we're getting a cup of coffee (
Hurry Up And Wait), or choosing a bumper sticker for our car (
Mean People Suck), or failing at step-parenting (
Dancing In The Street), or brushing our teeth (
Black Teeth And Bubonic Plague), or watering our suburban yard (
Plein Air Peeing), we are tripping over and bumping into happy accidents, both ridiculous and sublime, as we navigate our seemingly ordinary life.
In
Happy Accidents you will meet a buxom tattoo-covered barista, a 7-year-old boy giving dance lessons at a bus stop, dentists and Volvo mechanics sending their kids off to Harvard, a confused divorcee, and George of the Jungle--all going about their ordinary day while wrestling with deep philosophical questions, like, "Is the world round or flat?"
"Beautifully crafted, poignant, and humorous. David Boyne
reminds us that happiness, indeed, is not an accident."-- Paula Margulies, Coyote Heart
