Zen In The Art of Absurdity

[Carla René]

Hello all,

http://bit.ly/zeninabsurdity Zen In The Art of Absurdity (Comedic Short-stories and Essays That Will Make You Want To Shove Forks Through Your Eyes) is now available for your Nook reading device through Smashwords.com.

In “Sounds Like...A Self-Portrait” we see Fern’s struggle to go for it with Rogers or not. But will her gas keep them apart?

“Road Rage” shines a light on all those crappy drivers--who are driving YOUR car.

“See Dick and Jane Beat The **** Out of Jack and Jill,” is an all-out farce that writers everywhere will love.

“Sleep Walker” is the same story, told from 3 different points of view, with 3 very different stories emerging.

An exercise in writing purely horrible fiction is what “The Tokyo Kens” is all about.

Watch Delores have a controlled meltdown in “It’s All Just Water Under the Fridge.”

In the essay “We All Need Traditions,” Carla’s mother asked for a pink azalea for Mother’s Day every year. And every year, her dad would buy it, and then mow it down. Why they never got hobbies, we’ll never know.

“That’ll Be Seven Lipsticks, Please,” is an all-out mockery of Canadians. All Sam’s wife wants is a bathroom. All Sam wants is to find someone who speaks Canglish. Or Englanadian.

Even the suicide notes from avid shoe-lovers can be funny in “The Suicide Ranks.”

Find out why living in the south in the winter, and being married to a man who picks his ears with his keys is comic fodder in “Radio Shack, Earwax and Toilet Paper.”

And finally, “Justifiable Lack of Initiative” teaches us to celebrate our under-achieving, and see why a writer in search of his own writing space is driven to desperation by his wife in “Zen In The Art of Absurdity.”

What are they saying about "Zen?"

‎Zen in The Art of Absurdity is a laugh-out-loud book that takes the reader on a delightful ride. The comedy knows no bounds." --Maryann Miller, humor writer and author

"A quiltwork of quirky, quick, quaint, quippish, quixotry, and quasi shorts. Tongue-in-cheek is what I meant to say and she does it well. It is difficult not to smile and shake your head during the snippets she has put together. The stories run the gambit and her imagination has gone wild and run amuck. Be prepared to experience a jigsaw puzzle that is just not put together just right, but works out for the best." --Giovanni Gelati, The Gelati Scoop
