Title: Middle age is not funny but this book is
Product review: If you are of a certain age this book could be your autobiography. My husband and I almost felt this way when we read this book. His experience with kidney stones and my experience on the faculty of a high school English department made us both identify totally with the main character and laugh out loud at the absurdity of his life spiraling downward dizzily and hilariously. The pleasure of the catharsis we both experienced in being able to laugh at ourselves vicariously was complete. I had no idea that English department politics are so ridiculous universally! Well, if you have to get older and face embarrassing health problems and loss of power and status, it's great to be able to laugh at them as these problems are portrayed by a genius of comedy.
