James Finn Garner est un écrivain et satiriste américain, célèbre pour ses commentaires vifs et humoristiques sur les courants sociaux et politiques. Son œuvre est reconnue pour son esprit vif et sa capacité à exposer les absurdités des attitudes contemporaines à travers des récits familiers réinterprétés avec ironie et humour. Garner explore des thèmes qui soulignent le conflit entre tradition et idées progressistes, visant souvent à susciter la réflexion sur les normes sociales et le langage que nous utilisons pour les définir. Son approche satirique offre une perspective rafraîchissante et provocatrice sur le monde.
Nouveaux contes d'autrefois pour lecteurs d'aujourd'hui
Des contes célèbres (Hansel et Gretel, Le Chat botté...) expurgés des notions sexistes, racistes, âgistes, culturalistes, et aménagés façon XXe siècle. L'auteur y dénonce avec humour les travers en tous genres et les excès de la société moderne.
Whether your favorite holiday story is A Christmas Carol, The Story of Hanukkah, or 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, you'll find it transformed to reflect current sensibilities in Politically Correct Holiday Stories. Injecting our popular holiday fables with a modern perspective is no easy task, but someone had to do it -- and who better than the proven master of cultural sensitivity? James Finn Garner joyfully frees these holiday tales from sexism, ageism, religious imperialism, and every other sorry vestige of our flawed, low-consciousness past. So gather the family (whether traditional, dysfunctional, co-dependent, or otherwise) around the hearth, and read aloud these tales as they should have been told the first time.
The Ultimate Storybook
James Finn Garner wowed the world when he wrote Politically Correct Bedtime Stories, which sold nearly 2 million copies, and then followed it up with two books with the same theme, Politically Correct Holiday Stories and Once Upon An Enlightened Time; the three books together sold nearly 3.5 million copies in the U.S. and were translated into 20 languages. Garner's incisive and hilarious books took age-old bedtime and holiday stories and made them into politically correct tales of our day. His original humor, filled with social commentary, is well-known by readers around the country -- most recently in his new book Apocalypse Wow!
Politically Correct Bedtime Stores, then is the fruit of Garner's labors. We'd like to think that future generations of fairy-tale fans will see this as a worthy attempt to develop meaningful literature that is totally free from bias and purged from the influences of a flawed cultural past.
The author of the multi-million-copy bestselling Politcally Correct books now turns his jaundiced eye to the eschatalogical--and generates big yucks at what he sees. Lampooning everything from Mad Max to the Rapture to 666, the Number of the Beast, James Finn Garner launches an assault on UFO conspiracies, numerological calculations of the last days, harmonic convergences, and other millennial prophecies.
