What are schools? The bedrocks of democracy? Places where students go to learn? Elaborate day care centers? A jobs program for over-educated adults? Sam Zuckert didn't set out to write a collection of short stories about schools and the people who populate them, but it's all he knows, so here we are. Welcome to An Evening With Champions.
Inside you'll find a lesson seller on trial, a lost jacket at a frat party, a puppy studying to be a dentist, and other daffy stories that will leave you laughing (hopefully), thinking (maybe), and a little bit confused (almost certainly). Zuckert is an author of no renown, even the biggest bibliophile wouldn't know him from a stick in the mud. But! Here's a little secret: the big publishing companies don't want you to know about this book because they're scared that stories this earnest could cause a tectonic shift in the self-published short story market. There are dozens of dollars at stake here.
Anyway, point being, take a peek inside and you'll be happy you did. Clear your schedule, melt into your seat, pour yourself a drink, and enjoy. You're a champion too, time to start acting like it.
