Doug Farrell, Glamour Job: A Fairy-Tale for Grown-ups (Booksurge, 2007)
In this story the readers will see goblins disguised as humans and acting like humans. Reading this book is like reading a comic book without print images. However, the images of the characters pop out in the course of the dialogue, which is vivid and full of action. Glamour Job is an original fairy tale with an unexpected ending. The characters spin around Laurie (whose background is Jewish, so related issues are mentioned in the story). The language is simple and colloquial, and the plot is quite interesting. To sum up, this book is something out of the ordinary, and it is written in a humorous way that will appeal to a wide audience -- particularly adults who would like to experiment with a fairy tale and have fun! Author Doug Farrell, also a professional theater and TV actor based in Savannah, Georgia, is better known as the creator of the WBAI comedy show, Nearly Normal. ![]() |
