Author Description

Whether it's a report from the real Cannes or a young couple discovering that reading Jacques Derrida aloud can lull their child to sleep, Jim Hanas finds the strange in the everyday and the everyday in the strange. Hanas writes a lean and powerful line that makes even absurd situations - a man who cries professionally, a beauty queen leaving her slob boyfriend for an astronaut - seem painfully familiar. <i>Why They Cried</i> answers its own question and the answer is funnier than you think. This title is available in electronic formats only, and is part of ECW's Joyland eBook imprint.
