36. The One Eyed Man by Ron Currie

Sat Mar 24, 2018, 11:31 AM

Mar 2018

A rather hilarious present day satire about a man in his early 40s who has lost his wife and in dealing with his grief cynically challenges every worldly deception he happens to come upon -- no matter how large or small -- ruffling people's and society's feathers with exacting truth-telling along the way. About 2/3rds through it. To this point, it's really a quite entertaining and perceptive satire on the times we live in.
