Ferociously Close to Home: A Close to Home Collection, Paperback/John McPherson
Descriere
Ferociously Close to Home delivers Mc Pherson's trademark take on the absurdities of everyday life. To say that his solutions to these perplexing situations is 'out there' is an understatement. Consider Gina, who decides a branding iron will be the ideal memory aid for her birthday date-challenged husband. And poor Lanny, whose treadmill session is interrupted when he inadvertently triggers the health club's offensive odor alarm. Mc Pherson has long walked the line between grotesque and goofy. But somehow, his figures with big noses and bulging eyes connect with readers with a surefire magnetic precision. Whether it's health care or parenting, dating or car repairs, Close to Home delivers Mc Pherson's warped world without fail. About the Author: John Mc Pherson hails from Painted Post, New York.
