Stories to Entertain You...If You Get Bored on Your Wedding Night

By: Pat Muir

Narrated by: Pat Muir

This is a collection of twenty-nine short stories, highly diverse in character, and quick to read--none are longer than 4000 words. There are two comedic stories about a woman anxious to get her thirty year old son married. There are two murder mysteries. There is one about a man advertising to meet a woman and comes across his ex-wife, one about a woman complaining about her husband who has just left her--to go live with his sister--, and another about a man found watching pornographic movies right after the funeral of his wife. One story is about a professor who grieves he may have contributed to the suicide of a student in his class.

Pity the man in another story who has his new car stolen no less than four times. Another humorous piece concerns a heavyset female student in love with her professor, the inventor of an acoustic gun. Two stories are wrapped up in the lives of prostitutes. Two stories are concerned with the relationship of men with their mothers. Another story, a play on P.G. Wodehouse's character, Mulliner, has the heroine in love with a man who suffers from autophobia. The morality and perils of snitching arise in a further story. Relationships are explored in many of the other stories and reflect the author's wide business and life experience.
