Sinopse

In "Mr. Dooley: In the Hearts of His Countrymen," Finley Peter Dunne presents a collection of humorous and insightful essays featuring the fictional Irish bartender, Mr. Dooley. Written in a distinctive dialect that captures the essence of turn-of-the-century Irish-American vernacular, the work provides a satirical lens into contemporary social and political issues of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Dunne's keen observations on American life, infused with wit and cultural commentary, reveal the complexities of the American experience as seen through the eyes of the working class, solidifying the book's place in the broader context of American literature and immigrant narratives. Finley Peter Dunne was a prominent journalist and playwright whose experiences growing up in Chicago during a period of immense change influenced his writing. His intimate understanding of both Irish culture and the American landscape fueled his creation of Mr. Dooley, a character that not only entertains but also engages in serious discourse about identity, democracy, and the moral fabric of society. Dunne's ability to weave humor into commentary showcases his literary prowess and commitment to societal reflection. "Mr. Dooley: In the Hearts of His Countrymen" is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersections of humor, identity, and sociopolitical discourse. Dunne's masterful blend of wit and wisdom invites readers to ponder the pressing issues of their time, making this book an enduring classic that remains relevant today.

    Freudian slips, spoonerisms, double-talk, and nonsense from famous and infamous figures past and present, are all here in one digest that will have you howling with laughter. Imagine saying to the Beatles, "You'll never make it…Go back to Liverpool." That's what a Decca Records executive told the Fab Four in 1962. Senator S.I. Hayakawa allegedly pointed out, "The best cure for insomnia is to get a lot of sleep."
Siblings and stupidity experts Ross and Kathryn Petras continue their foray into the world of awkward utterances, slips of the tongue, and just plain dumb statements from politicians, celebrities, sports figures, social leaders—even average Joes. When laughing out loud listening to this wacky compendium, remember: "If you can't keep quiet, shut up!"

    Inspired by real-life class-action lawyers, The Education of Ryan Coleman begins in a Texas courtroom, where an ambitious attorney from Philadelphia chases his share of a lawsuit and gets his ass reamed by the judge. During this “trial-by-fire,” Coleman meets Eugenia Cauley, a female legal shark whose life ends tragically, and Robert Smalley, a brilliant attorney and borderline criminal who boasts that “I have the greatest practice of law in the world. I have no clients.” Coleman enters a hedonistic world of wealth and power, and becomes an errand boy and fixer for Randy Hollis, an insanely successful lawyer who is trying to buy a professional football team. Patrick Coyle, a prosecutor with an old grudge, and Dick Dickey, former Secretary of Defense and CEO of a military contractor, try to ruin Hollis and Coleman. When an escort mysteriously dies in Hollis’ penthouse, Coleman must choose between telling the truth or going to jail. This satirical thriller reveals how our legal system enables lawyers to get filthy rich. As Mortimer Zuckerman, real estate magnate and media billionaire, once said, “Practicing law is the exact opposite of sex. Even when it’s good, it’s bad.”

    Someone asked me what the theme of my collection was. I hate those questions. I'm really bad at theme. I don't think about a theme when I'm writing the story. I'm just trying to tell a story that interests me (and hopefully someone else). 
Here's a tagline for some of the stories:Riding a Greyhound Bus into the New World - a widower searches for the innocent boy he used to beDalton's Good Fortune - a down-on-his-luck ex-soldier gets a new perspective on his life from a fortune tellerThis Train Makes All the Stops - a man tries to adapt to a new world after his wife diesLetting Go - a woman in an emergency room waiting for a word on her husband, reflects on her marriage 
Most of these stories are about people who have lost something and are trying to find a way to move on with their lives. I hope you enjoy them.
