Dear County Agent Guy : Calf Pulling, Husband Training, and Other Curious Dispatches from a Midwestern Dairy Farmer (0761187278)

-


"Jerry Nelson's column comes from the true heart of the Midwest. He has the true voice, the slow twang. He knows wheat from barley. He knows hardware, he knows vegetation, he knows people."-Garrison Keillor

In the tradition of Mark Twain and Jean Shepherd, Dave Barry and Garrison Keillor, Jerry Nelson is a humorist whose beat is the American heartland, a small-town world of pickup trucks and Sunday night pancake dinners, dropping in on neighbors and complaining about the county agent.

His depictions of daily life, from the point of view of an ex-dairy farmer and taciturn husband with a twinkle in his eye, are read by 250,000 people a week-and occasionally woven into Prairie Home Companion scripts. These are stories of courtship; childbirth-he offers the delivery room doctor the use of his calf puller; family; neighbors; chores; and the duties of a father-why is it that a man who spends his days in cow manure can't change a baby's diaper? Knee-slappingly funny one moment, poignant the next, it's a very special look at a distinctly American way of life.

My Dinner with Andre : A Screenplay (0802130631)

-
Gambar
My Dinner with Andre is a passionate, volatile, and humorous encounter between two friends who have not seen each other for a long time, and decide to catch up on each others' lives over dinner. Andre Gregory is an intense, highly experimental theater director and playwright in search of life's meanings and spiritual revelations. His friend, Wally Shawn, is an actor and playwright living in New York who is more preoccupied with the search for his next meal. As Andre recounts his global journeys involving esoteric theatrical experiments and mystical adventures, Wally listens with more than skepticism, as his attitudes shift among wonder, puzzlement, admiration, and anger. What finally emerges is a sensitive portrait of a friendship that survives and transcends contransting assumptions about love, death, art, and man's continuing quest for self-fulfillment.

ARTE DE TRATAR CON LAS MUJERES, EL (9788420651354)

En "El arte de tratar con las mujeres", Franco Volpi ha recopilado y ordenado una antología de textos y sentencias en las que el feroz misógino que fue Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) expone sus ideas acerca del papel de la mujer en la existencia humana. Volumen proyectado con un espíritu lúdico que respira ya la misma introducción, su contenido resulta hoy, afortunadamente, un risible catálogo de consejos destinados a prevenir al varón frente a la ardua relación con el bello sexo o un repertorio de resentidas invectivas más motivo de curiosidad que otra cosa. Dependiendo del lector, sus líneas políticamente incorrectas moverán sin duda a sonrisa o a indignación. Sea una u otra, conviene, sin embargo, no perder de vista que el fondo que subyace tras muchas de estas sentencias es el que ha nutrido hasta hace muchos menos años de los que podríamos suponer buena parte de los pensamientos masculinos, y que posiblemente en muchos casos aún lo sigue haciendo.
