James Finn Garner è uno scrittore e satirico americano, celebrato per i suoi acuti e umoristici commenti sulle correnti sociali e politiche. Il suo lavoro è noto per il suo arguto spirito e la sua capacità di esporre le assurdità degli atteggiamenti contemporanei attraverso riletture ironiche e divertenti di narrazioni familiari. Garner esplora temi che mettono in luce lo scontro tra tradizione e idee progressiste, spesso con l'obiettivo di stimolare la riflessione sulle norme sociali e sul linguaggio che usiamo per definirle. Il suo approccio satirico offre una lente rinfrescante e provocatoria per osservare il mondo.
This is a "topsy-turvy" book of both Politically Correct Bedtime Stories and Once Upon a More Enlightened Time in one volume, an exclusive Quality Paperback Book Club edition. No publishing date is given, copyright dates of 1994 and 1995 for the two books.
Politically Correct Bedtime Stores, then is the fruit of Garner's labors. We'd like to think that future generations of fairy-tale fans will see this as a worthy attempt to develop meaningful literature that is totally free from bias and purged from the influences of a flawed cultural past.
The author of the multi-million-copy bestselling Politcally Correct books now turns his jaundiced eye to the eschatalogical--and generates big yucks at what he sees. Lampooning everything from Mad Max to the Rapture to 666, the Number of the Beast, James Finn Garner launches an assault on UFO conspiracies, numerological calculations of the last days, harmonic convergences, and other millennial prophecies.
A collection of Christmas stories, retold for readers of evolved consciousness, liberated from archaic, sexist, ageist, classist, lookist and other environmentally unsound prejudices.
The Ultimate Storybook
James Finn Garner wowed the world when he wrote Politically Correct Bedtime Stories, which sold nearly 2 million copies, and then followed it up with two books with the same theme, Politically Correct Holiday Stories and Once Upon An Enlightened Time; the three books together sold nearly 3.5 million copies in the U.S. and were translated into 20 languages. Garner's incisive and hilarious books took age-old bedtime and holiday stories and made them into politically correct tales of our day. His original humor, filled with social commentary, is well-known by readers around the country -- most recently in his new book Apocalypse Wow!
