Terry Shine - Nothing Happens Until it Happens to You - Gables

Start: Oct 7 2010 8:00 pm

Jeffrey Reiner is a middle manager’s dream. Predictable, almost
invisible, and lacking ambition, he’s held the same tedious job for
eighteen years, typing up the calendar listings for a South Florida
weekly. When he is suddenly fired, Jeffrey has no choice but to push
beyond his comfort zone. As Jeffrey stumbles from one comic catastrophe
to another, he realizes that in opening up to the world, he no longer
wants to go back to his safe, sheltered corner. Full of whimsy, wry
humor, and surprising insight, Terry Shine's Nothing Happens Until It Happens to You (Crown, $23.00) is a weird, wonderful journey of self-discovery that proves there’s life after the pink slip after all. 8pm
