Sinopse

In "Captain Balaam of the 'Cormorant', and other sea comedies," Morley Roberts presents a collection of charming nautical tales that blend humor with poignant observations of human nature. The book is characterized by its rich, descriptive prose and a keen sense of character, depicting the eccentric crew of the Cormorant as they navigate both the seas and the complexities of their relationships. The stories embody elements of Victorian realism while employing a light-hearted, comedic tone that reflects the author's adeptness at balancing humor with deeper reflections on life at sea, making these narratives both entertaining and thought-provoking within the literary context of early 20th-century maritime literature. Morley Roberts, a seasoned sailor and a prolific writer, draws on his own experiences at sea to bring authenticity to his narratives. His career spanned various genres and he was known for his vivid storytelling and strong character development. This background not only serves as a foundation for the humor and insight in "Captain Balaam," but also reflects the Victorian fascination with adventure and exploration, revealing the societal dynamics of his time through the lens of life aboard a ship. This collection is highly recommended for readers who appreciate maritime adventures laced with wit and wisdom. Fans of nautical literature and those who delight in character-driven stories will find Roberts' work a delightful addition to their literary repertoire. "Captain Balaam of the 'Cormorant'" offers an engaging exploration of camaraderie, conflict, and the simple joys of life on the water.

    The Queen of Steeplechase Park is the absolutely, positively, practically, almost-true story of infamous burlesque queen and magic meatball maker Belladonna Marie Donato. 
     
     
     
    Pregnant at fifteen after gleefully losing her virginity to pansexual neighborhood strongman Francis Anthony Mozzarelli, she is robbed of her baby by a pack of nefarious nuns and her embittered papa has her sterilized without her consent (legal in 1935). With the help of a besotted Francis and her top-secret meatball recipe, a devastated Bella embarks on a riotous quest through Depression-era Coney Island sideshows, the tawdry world of peek-a-boo striptease routines, a queer mob marriage, and a tasty collection of wisdom-filled recipes to find her lost child, herself, and maybe even true love. It all leads Bella back home, to the scene of her Original Sin, where she boldly faces matters of life and death, questions of forgiveness, and a holy mess only the healing properties of great Italian cooking can fix. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    This is not a poem. 
    It's barely even a book. 
    It's one page making fun of poems that aren't poems. 
    And now it’s a 42-second audiobook too! Perfect for those long road trips and the busy individual with no time to sit down with a book.

    Welcome to My Life: The Sitcom, featuring the panderings and ponderings of Yours Truly, Chadd Wheat. 
      
    Believe it or not, many of you have actually asked for this book. I don't know if you intend on using it for the bottom of the birdcage, evidence in impending legal actions, or simply as a guide to living frivolously. Whatever the case, I hope you enjoy it. 
      
    I started writing My Life: The Sitcom in 2002. Most of my articles, as published in The Lebanon Reporter and elsewhere, are my direct observations on the craziness that surrounds my life. Nearly all the events contained herein are actually true, with the names sometimes changed to protect the ignorant. 
      
    People often ask me where I get the inspiration to write my ludicrous columns. After rubbing my chin and looking sage, I usually say something like, "by consuming too much reality television, caffeine and other borderline hallucinogens. 
      
    Ha, ha! Just kidding, local law enforcement! As a matter of fact, I never watch reality television!

    Humor is a powerful tool that can shape our perspectives, influence our emotions, and improve our well-being. It is more than just a way to entertain or amuse; humor has the ability to impact the body and mind in profound ways. When we laugh, it triggers the release of endorphins, the brain’s natural feel-good chemicals. These endorphins create a sense of happiness and well-being, helping to reduce stress, lower anxiety, and even enhance our immune system. Laughter, in its simplest form, is an emotional release, and it allows us to cope with the difficulties of life more effectively. 
    The power of humor lies in its ability to shift our perspective. When faced with challenges or setbacks, humor provides a fresh lens through which we can view the situation. It encourages us to laugh at the absurdity of our troubles, allowing us to detach from the weight of negative emotions and gain a sense of control over the situation. This shift in perspective is not only liberating but also empowering, as it opens up new possibilities for problem-solving and resilience. Humor gives us permission to not take life too seriously, helping us maintain a sense of lightness even in the face of adversity. 
    Beyond its psychological benefits, humor also plays a vital role in social bonding. It brings people together, breaking down barriers and fostering connection. Shared laughter creates a sense of belonging, helping us relate to one another in meaningful ways. Humor can bridge gaps between cultures, generations, and backgrounds, making it a universal language that transcends differences. It helps us navigate difficult social situations and enhances our ability to communicate effectively.
