From the author of Imaginary Me and Watermeloned comes a book that asks the question:
What if there was a world without humor?
Meet Jerry Stinson. He's an accountant. He has a roommate named Carl. Carl doesn't work. Jerry does. Until suddenly Jerry doesn't.
Then Jerry discovers something unexpected. Unexpected with consequences. His brain tells him to say words that when spoken cause others to react in a never-before-seen way. It's something Jerry can't put a name to because his world has never experienced it before: humor, jokes, laughter.
The words cause great joyfulness but also cause great harm. Now Jerry is worried. Does he share what he's discovered with others? Or keep it to himself? Bottle it up? Or pour it out? Whatever he decides will have a lasting impact on the future of his world.
The latest book from Desmond Shepherd explores the importance of humor in society and emphasizes that we all have something in life to laugh for.
