Waxing Pathetic is a merging of personal commentary and memoir couched in a humorous voice. From a sardonic perspective readers are treated to a stream of consciousness that picks and nibbles at the human experience. From the pathetic to the political, the lunatic to the poetic, Merry Clark's memoir is a masterwork of dry wit and piercing observation. Organized in 5 major sections, each carries a unique theme that is hung upon the overriding concept of the pathetic principle. Readers will see real events merge with dream state fiction to illicit a deeper truth than just memories can provide.
