  Leisure suits! Muscle cars! An annoyingly ethical cocktail-loving alien! Social justice radicals! Time-traveling terrorist music critics! Just like Jane Austen used to write! Why couldn't Alan be cool like people in the '70s? After breaking up with his girlfriend Sheila and unsatisfyingly teaching English in South Korea, he befriends an alien grad student, Coff, who lets him time-travel to swingin' 1967 England to live out his retro-boogie fantasy. But now 70 years old in Edmonton, Canada, Alan takes a chance in meeting Sheila again to confess his past, causing problems in time that Coff will need more than Fleetwood Mac and fuzzy dice to fix. When time-flow conflicts result in them being harassed by university radicals and half-real fictional characters out to prevent Starship from recording "We Built This City" in 1985, Alan, Coff, and Sheila must travel to a San Francisco disco in 1979 for a final showdown against the time-terrorists. Shorter of Breath is an enjoyable romp through expat life in Korea, retro 70's culture, and classic rock music.

  In these fraught times, Theo Fennell's second collection of anecdotes, The Glory Years (More Chapters of Accidents) comes as a welcome antidote. 
  Following on from his first collection, I Fear For This Boy (Some Chapters of Accidents) he relates, in hilarious detail, some of the more humiliating and hysterical episodes from a life lived between the fast lane and the hard shoulder. 
  It is that modern rarity, a book that is cheerful, sympathetic and genuinely laugh out loud funny.. 
  Calamitous driving disasters, letting Hollywood down, a cringe-worthy attempted pick-up, unfortunate sporting catastrophes, Theo's canvas of chapters of accidents never fails to entertain and lift the spirits - there but for the grace of God... 
  His first collection, I Fear For This Boy, is a much-loved bestseller and won plaudits for both its humour and its humanity. The Glory Years is another treat in store.

Blending humor, romantic confusion, and philosophical insight, Weinbaum delivers a timeless tale about the subjectivity of beauty, love, and the human experience.
