Summary:
Canadian comedian Charlie Demers, who can be heard on CBC Radio's The Debaters, offers his brand of black humour in this A-to-Z collection of essays about bad
things
, exploring personal hangups that range from the slightly awkward to the down-right terrible. Beginning with "Adolescence," Demers recalls his sexless teenage years spent in a Trotskyist sect, and "Bombing" is his first-person account of the agonies of stand-up comedy gone wrong."Depression" and "Motherlessness" explore topics that more balanced minds might hesitate to make light of. Charles Demers is adjunct professor of creative writing at the University of British Columbia. His is the author of the novel "The prescription errors" and "Vancouver Special," a collection of essays.
