Bedtime Stories for Insomniacs: The True Fairy Stories of Hans Christian Brando
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Scathing satire! Neither "Fractured Fairy Tales" nor "Politically Correct Fairy Tales," these Bedtime Stories take you where "Once upon a time" never dared to before!
Fifty contemporary takes on myths, legends, fairy tales, and Bible stories, "Bedtime Stories for Insomniacs" focuses primarily on human nature, socially accepted cruelty, the victim culture, pop psychology, puerile "uplift" books (if you're looking for uplift, buy a Wonderbra), the destructive downside to traditionalism, taking refuge in clichés and catchphrases as a means of avoiding reality, and the catastrophic consequences of a dumbed-down society. And the sentences are shorter than that last one.
About the Author
Kevin Dawson was born in San Diego the day after Marilyn Monroe sang "Happy Birthday" to President Kennedy. Thirty-odd years later (some of those years were very odd), he began compiling "Bedtime Stories for Insomniacs." Not much happened during the time in between.
