Laughter of a Crazy Man - Paperback

by Michel Dioubate (Author)

Laughter of a Crazy Man is an extraordinary collection of over 20 hilarious, thought-provoking short stories, many with the theme of triumph over adversity. Enjoy the escapades of a guy born with three testicles which give him an advantage he exploits. In another curious tale, a man believes his legs were borrowed by a professional soccer player, who is making millions and wants it back. There's also a narrative of a child with tetanus who survives despite all the odds in a deteriorated hospital and another that details unfortunate events in the life of a child soldier who believes his problems are karma for unspeakable atrocities committed during the war.

The stories show great diversity, from a mythical creation story to a more scientific piece on the Ebola virus. The time span ranges from prehistoric to recent and the settings go from cities to villages as the riveting characters and twisted plots of the stories provoke laugh-out-loud humor. Laughter of a Crazy Man is not a book, it's an experience.
