Download The Joker: A Memoir AudioBook Free
Since Andrew Hudgins was a kid, he was a compulsive joke teller, so when he sat right down to write about jokes, he discovered that he was writing about himself - what jokes educated him and mistaught him, how they often delighted him but once in a while made him stressed with their take pleasure in chaos and sometimes anger. Because Hudgins's dad, a Western world Point graduate, dished up in the US Air Make, his family shifted frequently; he discovered to relate with other kids by sharing with jokes and viewing how his classmates responded. And jokes opened up him up to the serious, taboo things that his family didn't talk about openly - faith, race, intimacy, and loss of life. Hudgins instructs and analyzes the jokes that explore the contradictions in the Baptist faith he was raised in, the jokes that told him what his parents wouldn't normally tell him about intimacy, and the racist jokes that his uncle liked, his dad hated, and his mom, caught in the middle, was ambivalent about. This audiobook is both a memoir and a yoga on jokes and exactly how they educated, happy, and once in a while horrified him as he grew.
