John F Zurn has earned an M.A. in English from Western Illinois University and spent much of his career as a school teacher. In addition, he has worked at several developmental training centers, where he taught employment readiness skills to mentally challenged teenagers and adults. Now retired, he continues to write and publish poems and stories. As one of seven children, his experiences growing up continue to help inspire his art and influence his life.
My book, The Comedy in Everyday Life chronicles many of my experiences that span from childhood through retirement. Since the stories are all autobiographical, they have a sincerity that the reader may recognize and enjoy. With no vulgar language or objectionable themes, the book offers an opportunity to attract a wide audience. Some examples from the book include "Medicare with the Stars" that describes the questionable expertise of sports legends pitching plans for the Medicare system. Another story called, "The Breath of a Bear," talks about tent camping that involves a leaky air mattress that is mistaken for the breath of a black bear outside. Finally another story, "My Wife isn't the Boss of Me" portrays a husband's misperceptions about his relationship with his spouse. The story also demonstrates that the author can laugh at himself.
A number of friends and family have "test driven" some of the stories from the book, and they described many as having a "laugh out loud" quality to them. In fact, some of them have encouraged me to create this book. To tell the truth, I really enjoy the conception and actual composition of humorous nonfictions, and I delight in making people laugh. Over the years, I have published, poetry, short stories, and a novel, but I believe writing articles devoted to humor, may actually y be my niche.
An added charm to The Comedy in Every Day Life includes its flash fiction appeal that allows stories to be read in one sitting. I believe if readers take a little time to peruse one story, then most lovers of comedy will be drawn to continue reading. I certainly have faith they might.
