'It's Easy When You Have No Choice' is the first in a series of one-liner books arranged by topic. The first is a range of comments on the varied events in our troubling world. The second, 'A Matter of Wife and Debt', covers love and sex. The third, 'Everyone Laughs at the Boss's Jokes', deals with work and money. The fourth, 'We're Just Getting the Knack of Life When We Die', focuses on age and health. And so on, observations on time and the seasons, the arts, politics and history.
