Book NoteProfessor tickles reader's funny bone: Daniel Pearlman's latest book, The Best-Known Man In The World and Other Misfits (Aardwolf Press, 2001) may tickle your funny bone while making you squirm in your seats. The book, a collection of stories and novellas, is filled with unforgettable characters, irony and intellectual play. With tongue firmly in place in his cheek, Pearlman employs his mischievous sense of humor to what-if situations and what-now characters. A URI English professor, Pearlman lived in Spain for several years where he wrote two novels and began crafting a series of short stories. His work has appeared in such magazines and anthologies as New England Review, Quarterly West, Amazing Stories, The Silver Web, and Magic Realism. His recent books of fiction are Black Flames, a twisted excursion into the Spanish Civil War, and The Final Dream and Other Fictions, a book of speculative stories that grope the backsides of cosmos and consciousness. Pearlman offers fiction writing seminars at URI. To learn more about Pearlman's latest book, click on www.aardwolfpress.com. |
