Happiness TM
Autor Will Fergusonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 feb 2003
Jonathan Coe, author of What a Carve Up!
When one of those irritating self-help books actually gets it right, then unnatural and worrying times are just around the corner...
'A wonderfully asured, gleefully twisted and deeply irreligious satire which manages to be as moving at is funny.'
Independent on Sunday
'Will Ferguson's talent as a satirist is to be treasured, his wit enlivens every page . . . a glorious romp through modern life.'
Literary Review
'Aduous Huxley meets Carl Hiaasen (as a blurb-writer at Panderic Press might say).'
Independent
'A shrewd and often hilarious examination of contemporary mores, anxieties and desires. And it loudly proves the points that laughter is probably the best therapy we are likely to get.'
Scotland on Sunday
'A sizzling satire on self-help culture.'

Notă biografică
Will Ferguson was born and raised in the former fur-trapping settlement of Fort Vermilion in the backwoods of northern Canada. Fortunately, he managed to escape, and he has since travelled throughout Latin America and East Asia. Indeed, he prides himself on having gotten utterly and hopelessly lost in more than a dozen exotic locales, including Ecuador, Peru, Indonesia, Malaysia, China, Korea, and Japan.
'How I ever became a travel writer is beyond me,' he confesses. 'I have absolutely no sense of direction.'
Ferguson has a BFA in screenwriting from York University, Toronto. His first three books were plucked from the slush pile: he is the author of the satirical bestseller Why I Hate Canadians, which was all but banned from export (though it can be ordered online at chapters.ca, he advises), and his other works include a nuts-and-bolts traveller's bible, The Hitchhiker's Guide to Japan, as well as a humorous exposé about his experience in a misguided drunken government youth program, entitled I Was a Teenage Katima-victim! He has also written an insightful and highly scientific political analysis: Bastards & Boneheads (it was a study of our leaders).
