It's No Laughing Matter
Gordon Blitz is proud to announce his autumn 2024 publication.of It's No Laughing Matter.
Wade and Brenda grew up in a house where laughter was forbidden. This restricted childhood stunted their emotions and social skills. Wade convinced himself that having a sense of humor was frivolous. He pursued a career as a mathematician, a dry profession, until he found the benefits of expressing joy later in life. All it took was being trapped in an elevator for four hours with another man! One can learn a lot about oneself (and about that other man) in all that time! Brenda, on the other hand, went overboard wanting to become a world-class comedian. She pursued the life of stand-up comedy, and along the way, she got herself kidnapped and thrown into a cellar! She learned a lot about her kidnapper in all the time that she was tied up and left in the dark. Ultimately, It’s No Laughing Matter takes the reader through a series of harrowing adventures and comes full circle to the realization that there is great therapeutic value in laughter. In fact, there is great therapeutic value in being able to express the full gamut of emotions available to us as expressive human beings.
