Sinopsis

The celebrated author of The Age of Innocence offers a biting satire of Jazz Age society in this tale of indulgence, infidelity, and family dysfunction. Nona Manford is in love with the wrong man—or at least, she’s in love with a man whose wife won’t grant a divorce. When she isn’t preoccupied with her own romantic dilemma, Nona is busy trying to save the marriage of her stepbrother, Jim. But Jim’s wife, Lita, is desperate to escape her domestic role for a life of dancing, champagne, and glamour. And meanwhile, the family’s older generation isn’t faring much better.  An instant bestseller when it was first published in 1927, Edith Wharton’s Twilight Sleep is both a scathing satire of Jazz Age frivolity and a psychologically probing portrait of a family coming apart at the seams.

    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!

    Whether it’s Henry VI’s hapless reign, Edward IV’s dramatic escapades, or Richard III’s infamous legacy, à Beckett proves that history’s darkest dramas are also its funniest.  
    Perfect for fans of satire, history lovers with a sense of humor, or anyone who enjoys seeing pompous monarchs taken down a peg, this standalone volume delivers laughter alongside the Lancasters and Yorks, as they fight over the the princes in the tower and  theendless succession of pretenders to the throne, while also pretending to the throne of France once England was in hand. 
    After all, why should history be serious when it’s this absurd?
