Synopsis "Going for the LAUGH"

In his new book, Going For The Laugh author Martin H. Zuckerman invites readers into a world where characters never pass on an opportunity to deliver a scathing punch line. He describes his new tome as the act of "turning an ordinary event into something exceptional."Readers follow the book's protagonist, Manny, as he interacts with family and friends, delving into his personal philosophies and unique quirks. His story begins as a young boy growing up in a Jewish family in Brooklyn, N.Y., and continues through his draft into the army and his first real employment with the New York Telephone Company. Readers learn Manny's thoughts on marriage, retirement, politics and religion.His direct prose explores both the cynicism and joys of human nature. "It's a story about people, their weaknesses, their strengths, the futility, the frankness," lists the author. But above all, he adds, the book teaches readers to "go for the laugh."At one point, the author asks the reader to imagine they're having a passionate evening with their spouse, "... a gourmet dinner by candlelight, soft music playing and then making love." He continues, "When you get done, you sit up and drop a hundred on the pillow, thank her for a good time and go to the toilet. That's "going for the laugh." "Laughing at ourselves and the things we do can lift your spirit," says Martin. "All in all, it doesn't really matter. Life is too short to give a crap." Zuckerman is a baby boomer who has worked for many years in the telecommunications industry as a technical professional. He has written a number of articles and short stories. He characterizes his sense of humor as surreal and says he is known for impromptu storytelling. This is his first novel.
