Produktbeschreibung
He Falls Well is a collection of short stories and vignettes recounting the ups, the downs, and the in-betweens of New Orleans educator and writer Folwell Dunbar. From the Seven Hills of Rome to the Volcn de Fuego in Mexico, from the deck of a German U-boat to the mosh pit of a kindergarten classroom, from close encounters with other species to perfectly planned dates gone terribly awry, the author takes us on an odyssey of misadventures and near-death experiences. He probes (and usually gets stung by) the age-old adage, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." He treks into the quagmire of despair, and somehow, miraculously comes out standing "" and smiling on the other side. Using concise language and swift dialogue, Dunbar recreates real-life scenes of survival. The book is a funny and terrifying tour de force. Having a rough day? He Falls Well is the perfect antidote.
