Synopsis

A collection of 64 literary tidbits about such diverse subjects as poisonous fish, sex habits of chimps, why dogs like skunks, father-son relationships, silliness of escargot, Teddy Roosevelt’s jungle prowess and other odd topics that take a minute to read. Author Mike Lubow learned to condense ideas into 160 words—a minute’s worth—as a writer of TV spots. The pieces in this collection, some zany, some profound, all appeared in the Chicago Tribune.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Is this really necessary? Everything anybody could want to know about the author is evident in the minute-long rants, ravings, insights, experiences and stories in this book, since they’re all true and reflect who this author is. But anyway, real quick: Former Creative Director of the Chicago office of a multi-national ad agency, founder/owner of a mid-sized Chicago ad agency. (Actually, not exactly mid-sized. Smallish, really. But big of heart). Writer of fiction and non-fiction published in national magazines, from the literary to the glossy, some in Australia and the U.K., creator and writer of the online magazine “Two-Fisted Birdwatcher,” where more minute-like prose can be found, in case anyone wants more. The author lives in the Chicago area. He’s a husband, father, grandfather with a Peter Pan complex, and could’ve played pro basketball if he were only a little taller.
