2m / Dramatic Comedy / Unit set It’s 1965 and two comedians, "Steady Eddie" & "Doug the Mug," knock ’em dead every night in the Catskills. Punchlines and cheap shots fly -- on stage and off -- as Doug and Ed battle for the spotlight over a decade, pushing each other to the cusp of a new direction of stand up comedy. With their personal and professional lives uncovered at center stage, Eddie and Doug must find a way to laugh it off while staying at the top of their game. Sam Marks’ The Joke takes a look at the friendship and the rivalry between two comic partners during

Between the years 1958 and 1974 a series of books appeared that were attributed to the mysterious Wei Wu Wei. The Tenth Man, an essential work of this enigmatic sage, is being brought out in an new edition by Sentient Publications. Drawing from the ancient traditions of Buddhism, Taoism, and Advaita Vedanta, this anonymous writer renders their insights in his own radical, uncompromising language, with humor and profundity. In giving us his version of the perennial philosophy, he brings a very different perspective to the conventional notions about time, love, thought, language, and reinca

The Black Joke is a rousing sea story in the tradition of the great classic pirate tales. The time is the 1930s. The loot is bootleg liquor, not pirate gold. And the ship is the “Black Joke,” the speediest, nimblest craft on the Newfoundland coast – Jonathon Spence, owner and master. An unwelcome passenger enmeshes the boat and her crew (young Peter and Kye) in danger and near destruction…until the fiercely independent people of the island of Miquelon are caught up in the fate of the “Black Joke” and the cargo aboard her.From the eBook edition.

All too often, this brilliant novel of thwarted love and revenge miscarried has been read for its political implications. Now, a quarter century after The Joke was first published and several years after the collapse of the Soviet-imposed Czechoslovak regime, it becomes easier to put such implications into perspective in favor of valuing the book (and all Kundera ’s work) as what it truly is: great, stirring literature that sheds new light on the eternal themes of human existence. The present edition provides English-language readers an important further means toward revaluation of The
