An
antidote to social distancing, political chaos,
environmental crisis, and war.
Laughs to help you get back to feeling normal.
3000 jokes, 500 pages, a pound and a half of laughs.

Never Grow Up - General Fun
Bedtime Whimsy and Romance
Pithy jokes for every taste and mood and occasion.
This bittersweet comedy and romance has touches of tragedy and magic.
Writing during the pandemic and
feeling nostalgia for what has been lost, the narrator, Abe,
recounts stories told around the dinner table on a Caribbean
cruise two years before.
Abe explains the title:
"I'm writing from the midst of this
crisis, not with the wisdom of hindsight. Even if it gets no
worse than it is right now, much has been lost.
"I'm hoping that we can gether. That's a word that isn't
in the dictionary.
"To gether is
to
find new ways to be together, new ways to meet, to bond, to
love.
"Even when physically isolated, we
can come together in spirit, to share experiences and emotions
to the point that we are intimately connected.”
"In any case, may we always
treasure our normal life, knowing, as we now know,
that it is fragile and should never be taken for granted."
On one level, To Gether
Tales is a collection of stories told around a dinner table. But
it's also a novel, in which themes echo from one story to another
and tellers both disguise and reveal themselves through what they
say, all woven together in the frame of the narrator.
"A refreshing
antidote to the struggles borne of the pandemic, politics and
threatening conflicts that haunt our daily lives. Richard
Seltzer’s “To Gether Tales” takes us
on an unusual ocean cruise that elevates our spirits and
counteracts the current climate of cynicism and despair.
Captivating, intimate and poignant
stories brimming with romance, friendship, warmth, and humor bring
a group of voyagers together. Seltzer's inventive and engrossing
writing enables us to join the journey and participate as if we
were on board, ourselves. We disembark feeling enchanted, renewed and reinvigorated."
The Princess Tango, a
story from To Gether Tales,
read by the author (YouTube video)
Shakespeare's
twin
sister wakes up in the body of a 99-year-old woman in a nursing
home in 1987. Kate has quite a tale to tell:
-- her
coming-of-age story, posing as a boy to get an education,
-- twins
separated at birth sorting out the mystery of their otherworldly
connection to one another,
-- a lifelong
three-way love story,
-- soul projection and transference linking
individuals to one another and connecting past to present,
-- and the story of a young reporter who falls
in love with the soul he finds in the body of an old and dying
woman.
As a
cross-dressing sword-fighting teenager, Kate beats Mercutio,
captain of the King's Musketeers, in a duel in Paris.
As Will's double
and writing partner, Kate enables him to do the work of two
geniuses.
This outlandish
view of Shakespeare's life and times stays true to the facts,
while presenting explanations that are intriguingly plausible.
Like Shakespeare in Love, this is a humorous,
romantic take on Shakespeare the man.
Like Yentl, a
brilliant young woman finds creative ways to succeed in a
man-dominated world.
"Richard Seltzer’s story,
Shakespeare’s Twin Sister, is a clever insightful romp.
We first encounter Kate as Lettie, a 99-year-old woman in a
nursing home, 1987.
Her personality transforms and she tells her “real” story to a young journalist,
Bill Greene.
He, in turn, retells a surprisingly plausible tale of Kate’s
multiple identities (male and female) as Shakespeare’s twin
sister.
Apparently, Kate played a large role in the writing of the
famous works.
Not only that, but she is an arch feminist in men’s clothing
with longings of her own.
The book is full of good humor – the Arden family quotes lines
from Shakespeare’s play in their daily banter.
The titles are fun too – “If You Incest!”
Read this novel – it’s a mind-bending hoot!"
5.0 out of 5
stars"Albert
Einstein wrote: “The distinction between past, present and
future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” This
revelation is illustrated in captivating literary form in
Richard Seltzer’s “Shakespeare’s Twin Sister.”
In the setting of a nursing home, we find a 99-year old woman, who not only has a
story of her early life, which is compelling in and of itself,
but, also, a deeper tale, which challenges our assessment of
our conventional, apparently linear existence. The duality of
the consciousness of this amazing woman draws us in from the
very beginning. Superimposed on this remarkable theme is the
poignant love story of the reporter of this phenomenon for the
younger self of the aged woman.
The theme revolves around the perspective of twins separated
at birth, the girl belonging to a privileged family, the boy
having a rough and tumble existence. Their common origin is
unknown to both twins and they develop an attraction for one
another. The boy is William Shakespeare, himself.
As always, Richard Seltzer’s books are both informative and
imaginative. Here, we enter the realms of Russia, Elizabethan
London and present-day America.
Space and time are blurred like an Impressionist painting.
Nevertheless, descriptions of place and historical anecdotes
are true and told in a vivid manner so that we feel as if we
are there.
Richard Seltzer’s novels dare us to extrapolate our own
present-day existence with that of our past, possibly hidden,
and future, so that our “souls” can shift or even transfer.
That is the intellectual and engaging challenge of all of
Richard Seltzer’s books."
Breeze, a young woman in present-day Connecticut,
goes into a medically inexplicable coma. Her boyfriend,
Yannie, a senior at Yale, has to
get her the help she needs to survive while trying to
solve the mystery of this goddess-like free spirit who
appeared out of nowhere two months before.
In part two, Breeze
awakens in a different body in a different place and
time. She is at Troy in the body of Briseis,
love-slave of Achilles. She fears she’ll be taken for
a demon. She knows the story she is trapped in, and
she learns that she can make changes in what the story
leaves unsaid, so long as she doesn't alter the
direction of the narrative.
In part three, Breeze finds herself in still
another body. It's the fourth century AD and she’s at
the temple of the Eleusinian Mysteries, near Athens. A
young woman lies down on the altar next to the corpse of
another young woman. In the ritual, she expects her soul
will move to the body of the dead woman. Instead, the
dead woman comes to life with the soul of Breeze. That
glitch leads to humorous complications as well insights
into the ironies of everyday life and love.
A WWII romance veers off into an alternate
reality and then another and another.
"Richard Seltzer takes us on another spellbinding journey
into an alterante reality
that defies our familiar perception of space and time. Nevermind is a story with a
backdrop that seems grounded on the surface, but turns
into a flight of mind-bending twists."
Interview
about
Nevermind at Readers
Magnet
Without
knowing why or how, two college students wake up 50
years older than they were when they went to sleep and
with no memory of what has happened in between.
The first door is birth. The second is death. Finally,
Frank and Marge go through the fourth door.
"Richard
Seltzer's vast imagination knows no bounds...
Think Thomas Wolfe. Think The
Razor's Edge by Maugham.
...the main character...talented,
energetic, charismatic... genre-defying Be prepared for
a wild ride."
"Richard Seltzer is a master of
educating us to the possibilities of existence once we
set our mind free and open the door to the unknown."
The story,
which begins in an assisted-living facity
in New Hampshire, leads to 18th century Boston and London,
where there's unfinished business that residents, through
mirror selves, must take care of.
