L'humoriste préféré de Victoria revient avec une collection hilarante d'observations sur la vie sur l'île.
Depuis plus de vingt-cinq ans, la colonne humoristique hebdomadaire de Jack Knox a capturé l'essence de la vie dans la capitale pittoresque de la Colombie-Britannique, alias K.a. Dysfonctionnement par la mer. Dans Fortune Knox Once, comme dans ses précédentes collections humoristiques, Knox rassemble ses pièces préférées du Times Colonist qui résument le mieux l'absurdité de notre temps.
Le sujet est partout sur la carte : l'art perdu de l'écriture, la sensualité de l'accent canadien, la dépendance au téléphone, la vache voleuse de Metchosin, les camions laides, une parodie d'annonces de fin d'école et une lettre au prince Harry. Le chapitre sur Pi Day est l'un des meilleurs humour mathématiques que vous lirez toute la semaine. Et bien qu'il y ait une douzaine de pièces sur des sujets liés à la peste - de la pénurie de chiens au défilement en passant par le moment où Knox a laissé tomber sa carte de crédit dans la salière - COVID n'apparaît que dans de brefs aperçus, comme un méchant tourbillonnant de moustache rampant parfois sur la scène dans une pantomime britannique à l'ancienne.
Que vous soyez un insulaire né et élevé qui pense que tout cela est tout à fait normal, ou une greffe continentale attirée par le mythe de la baisse des prix du logement, Fortune Knox Once est le rire dont nous avons tous besoin en ce moment.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Victoria's favourite humourist returns with a hilarious collection of observations on Island living.For more than twenty-five years, Jack Knox's weekly humour column has captured the essence of life in BC's picturesque capital city, a.k.a. Dysfunction-by-the-Sea. In Fortune Knox Once, as in his previous humour collections, Knox gathers together his favourite Time Colonist pieces that best sum up the absurdity of our times.The subject matter is all over the map: the lost art of handwriting, the sexiness of the Canadian accent, phone addiction, the Rogue Cow of Metchosin, ugly trucks, ugly people, a parody of end-of-school announcements, and a letter to Prince Harry. The chapter on Pi Day is some of the best math-based humour you will read all week. And while are a dozen pieces on plague-related topics--from dog shortage to doomscrolling to the time Knox dropped his credit card into the saltchuck--COVID appears only in brief glimpses, like a moustache-twirling villain occasionally creeping onto the stage in an old-style British pantomime.Whether you are a born-and-bred Islander who thinks this is all completely normal, or a Mainland transplant lured by the myth of lower housing prices, Fortune Knox Once is the laugh we all need right now.
