FAQs

FAQ: So what's your book about?

A: Hmm … You know how some things aren't the least bit funny when they're happening, but they become funny if you give them enough time? It's about them. 

 

 

FAQ: Can you be a bit more specific?

A: Sure. I write about French jails and about dead chickens; about real estate and about paralyzed men in sailboats; about my wife and about prostitutes. I even throw in the odd recipe.



FAQ: What sort of person would want to read this book?

A: Aside from those with a specific interest in plungers, I'd say anyone who spends a good deal of time getting into and out of trouble, and wants to feel that he/she is not alone.



FAQ: You very nearly died in a car accident that left you unconscious for weeks and unable to walk for nearly a year. Did the experience make you a better person with an enhanced appreciation for life?

A: According to my wife, no. She says that I’m still the same … what’s the word I’m groping for …“asshole” I was before the accident.



FAQ: Speaking of your wife, she appears often in your stories as your straight man. How does she feel about this role?

A: It’s not a role.



FAQ: You’ve lived in many places, and worked at many jobs. If you had to choose one place to live and one job to work at for the rest of your life, what and where?

A: That question makes no sense to me.



FAQ: AS a virtually unknown writer who has written a book in a genre that is not enormously popular, how do you intend to sell your book?

A: The way things are going, I’d be inclined to say posthumously.





 

Biography

Alan Handwerger and his wife of twenty-nine years, Lorrie, live in Stowe, Vermont and Sarasota, Florida.  They have four children -- one of each -- scattered throughout New England. They also have one small dog, Emma, who somehow manages to occupy more than half of a king-size bed.
