That's Why They Call It Work - Paperback

That's Why They Call It Work is the final book of a three-part memoir that chronicles the author's life. Al three were written as stand-alone volumes. Brooklyn born and raised, the author writes with Brooklyn wit along with a Brooklyn cadence. George Washington Didn't Sleep Here is self-explanatory. The title of That's Why They Call It Work comes from the author's response to his son who noted that work was hard, to which the author replied, "That's why they call it work." Readers are taken on a train of words that carries them through six states and a dozen or so cities. There are episodes that evoke fear, wonderment, challenges to believability, and some good old- fashioned belly laughs. Unique to this book are quotations from famous writers about writers and writing-some that are quite surprising.
