W.C. Fields once said “There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what you want, the other is getting it”. This quote could easily apply to the life of the American author and journalist, Jules Feiffer.
Feiffer’s plays and books about his own life are often about people that either can’t make up their minds, or make the wrong ones.
The Man in the Ceiling is a semi-autobiographical book about a boy who loves to draw and write comics, but doesn’t seem to be very good at either.
The book is narrated by the adult Feiffer, looking back at his childhood. He tells the story of his family, his friends, and his love of comics and cartooning.
The book is funny and sad, and sometimes both at the same time. Feiffer’s illustrations add to the humor of the book.
The Man in the Ceiling is a great book for anyone who loves comics, or for anyone who has ever struggled to find their place in the world.
The Beautiful Mystery was a commercial success, selling over 300,000 copies in its first week of release and debuting at number one on the New York Times Bestseller list. The novel was also well-received by critics, with many praising Louise Penny’s writing and the book’s suspenseful plot.
