Send in the Clowns - Paperback

by Scott Leddy (Author)

In this autobiographical account, a middle-aged man, facing life's challenges reflects on earlier period, questioning prior decisions and pondering the possibilities of what might have been based on his former conduct. This satirical representation of a time in the author's past focuses on college experiences, a zany carefree existence where responsibility and commitment take a back seat to the pursuit of the ultimate party. His first time surviving on his own, the narrator is pitted with a motley crew of feral degenerates. He and his roommates, Chazz, Jamal and Manny push the boundaries of acceptability, bending societal rules to the brink of anarchy. In the end, was this previous apathetic dedication to academic achievement on the part of the protagonist a reflection of a grocery list of failed personal accomplishments later in life, or the result of a simple twist of fate? Would the author change the course of history if given the opportunity to do so? Was it worth the ride, and would he do it all over again? Damn Straight
