À propos de ce contenu audio
Fannie Flagg once said that what the world needs now is a good laugh. And that is what she gives us in these warmhearted, always surprising stories about people who are finding clever ways to deal with the curveballs life sometimes throws at us.
Velma in Kansas, a loving great-grandmother, struggles to bridge generational gaps with her family. We cheer for Helen, in Ithaca, New York, who takes an audacious course of action when her husband leaves her for a younger woman. In Bent Fork, Wyoming; in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; in Tucson, Arizona; and in towns and cities all across America, people figure out inventive ways to overcome obstacles to happiness. And in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Special Agent Frawley is studying the mysteries of being human from an original perspective.
With her imagination, humor, and great understanding of the human heart, Fannie Flagg holds a mirror up to the foibles, ingenuity, and imagination of people, inspiring us to laugh at the sometimes eccentric, sometimes brilliant ways people cope with, and ultimately prevail over, the challenges of modern life.

“Fannie Flagg is a national treasure. There is no one like Fannie and there never will be. Her short story collection, Something to Look Forward To, is a high-octane literary road trip of small towns, with their most colorful characters and their juicy antics. Rascals, special agents, oddballs, weather girls, and missing relatives are just a few of the glorious guests at this covered-dish feast. It’s pure Fannie, which means it's the best there is!”—Adriana Trigiani, New York Times bestselling author of The View from Lake Como

Some of the best stories include two women turning the tables on a carjacker; a mother who realizes she’s never liked her adult children; an older woman’s drastic plan to avoid bankruptcy; and a man who awakens to discover he’s been reincarnated as a grub worm. . . . Satisfying comfort food–like character studies.”—Library Journal
