Dilemmas
Perigee, July, 2001.
Hardcover, 127 pages.
ISBN: 0399526811
You should hope that you do not find yourself in
the midst of some of the dilemmas described in
this book. They include dilemmas that are
wretched, disgusting, horrifying, humorous,
and uncomfortable. Of course, this makes them
terrific conversation starters -- which is the purpose
of this little book that encourages terrible thoughts.
For example, the book starts with the unpleasant
dilemma, "You've started dating a woman and
discover she used to be a man." Other dilemmas include
"The person you are sitting next to at dinner momentarily
looks away when you sneeze all over his plate of food",
"A writer friend publishes a story you realize is about
intimate aspects of your life", "Your daughter mentions
in passing that the family doctor had her take her clothes
off to check her tonsils", and "Your boss calls you in and
gives you a big promotion for something you didn't
actually do." "What would you do?," asks the book.
Dilemmas is a
great book for breaking the ice at a social event.
