Humor Writing

Feuerstein reist wieder: durch Thailand, Birma, New York und ins Eismeer. Aber diesmal ist alles anders. Thailand kennt er seit Jahrzehnten besser als seine Westentasche (er trägt keine Westen), in New York hat er eine ganze Ehe lang gewohnt, und die beiden Reisen auf dem Wasser wurden komplett von anderen Leuten organisiert (mit Ausnahme der Seekrankheit, die aus Feuersteins Innerem kam).

Es geht doch nichts über gepflegte Vorurteile vor einer Reise. Der typische Urlauber hat sich zuvor -mehr oder weniger gründlich- über das Land informiert, welches er besuchen möchte.

Entdecken Sie mit diesem Hörbuch die bekanntesten Länder dieser Welt! Ein zeitloses Reisehörbuch für alle Urlauber, witzig, unterhaltsam und ideal fürs Reisegepäck.

This novel is a satirical look at my life, and I have never written for a porn site. There are four parts to this book: The Rehearsal (trying to figure out my life and men), The Performance (a story in two perspectives about a transgender guy being interviewed), The Reviews, and Pornopraphy (amusing selection of commentary and reviews of media products). I write just a little soft porn for humor, but mostly it's about why my satirical "drag queen" narrator started writing erotica.

Why?, you might ask and maybe even in a mean-sounding voice “How Dare I write about such a touchy subject as Book Reviewing?” I would answer that I'm not daring to but rather I am being guided to do it. That unseen substance we might call “Literary Inspiration”, “The Guiding Hand of Inspirational Writing” or “I Got an Itch to Write Something”, is driving me and I can all but resist it. There are apparently readers out there who need this material to fill a void that can be satisfied by nothing else and I am called upon to fill them up.

Finnland. Da denkt jeder an Seen, Sauna, Mücken und Elche. Und eine verteufelt schwere Sprache. Aber wer sind die Menschen dort? Verschrobene Einzelgänger? Trinkfest und sangestüchtig?

Und das ist so skurril wie alltäglich, das ist aberwitzig und melancholisch schön.

You don't have to be funny to be funny. It's true! While the general idea is that humor is inherent, Jean-Marc Toledano would beg to differ. Explore the science of laughter and the reason behind it with Half Serious Half Not, in which Jean-Marc discusses the topic in great detail and brings you the secret to being funny.
