The title Wry Humor: Reflections as a Side Dish says it all. Each essay takes a slice of personal experience observations and nonconventional themes. They are meant for people to reflect upon their surroundings, people and their pecularities. The writings require that we tread carefully among the wonderful nature that we seem to carnage or even destroy. Humans are having a difficult time dealing with each other while mutilating the environment. Mother Nature has wonderful healing properties and drawing attention to human involvment needs to be outed and subtle irony may help to disclose and adjust our insight on our unrealized and skewed behavior. The Human race has come a long way. Machines are on the foremarch and gadgetry and greed has taken over. Human interactions have been diverted to the inane. Meaningful attention to important issues that compromise our existence have been diverted to trivia - largely labeled each day as "Breaking News." Perhaps the book title Wry Humor and insightful reflections may help people to realize that addiction to trivia may prove dangerous to our survival.

Autorenporträt
Dr. Lutterbeck grew up in Chicago after immigrating to the US in 1939 from Switzerland. He graduated from a Wisconsin college and returned to his native country to study and complete his medical education. After spending several years in pathology and obtaining a degree in tropical medicine, he joined the international pharmaceutical industry. The last twenty-five years were spent developing new drugs for numerous companies located throughout Europe, the US, and Japan. He supervised and managed offices in seven European countries, Australia, and Japan, living and working in six of these counties.

He traveled extensively and frequently to even more countries accumulating a wide sense of cultural awareness and enjoyed observing and experiencing the less obvious aspects of life, especially in the Anglo-American world. Aside from publishing in the fields of medicine, he only recently, on the encouragement of numerous friends, turned to writing on nonmedical issues of the day using his friends and acquaintances who considered his twisted sense of humor.

Married twice, for seventeen and twelve years respectively, with three children, and eight years in between wives. He now lives alone these past twelve years in Zurich, Switzerland. Considering the misery of today, he strongly believes that appropriate humor could help people to cope.
