Who could survive in this world without laughter? Nowadays comedy is no longer a boys' thing, and now women take over. Through Wantate you will learn that to laugh you just need to look around and in our own lives.
Cool, Calm & Contentious is a compilation of essays in which the author takes us on a hilarious and ridiculously great journey. Markoe makes a travel of introspection to her past, seeing her tragic adolescence, talking to her dogs and speaking at a really terrible university careers fair in Lafayette, Louisiana. On each page, she finds absurdity in everyday life, in a great and definitely fun way. “Markoe is easily as funny as David Sedaris. She’s capable of manic riffs and the most acerbic skewering of herself and others,” says Lisa Zeidner in her excellent article in the Washington Post. Wantate brings us this fun piece of art, which you just cannot miss!
Markoe: The Genius behind David Letterman
Merril was for years the first head writer for the famous “Late Night Show” This novelist and essayist is definitely out of this world. Anyone can mock, but it takes true genius to enlighten. She achieves it not only once, but in each one of the essays of this sensational title.
It seems that the writings of this book aren’t even related, but as you get into the book, you rediscover the joy of life through something as simple as laughing at our own mediocrity. In each essay, the author teaches us something, but not from the pedestal, but from our “day to day lives”. Come and enjoy this fun reading at Wantate.
