Honku: The Zen Antidote to Road Rageby Aaron Naparstek
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:How many times this week has your morning commute, or just plain driving to the grocery store, turned into a road-rage-inducing nightmare? A soccer mom steals your parking spot. A cell-phone guy cuts you off on the freeway. A student driver nearly rear-ends you at the mall. Take heart. Honku: The Zen Antidote to Road Rage is all you need to lower your blood pressure and make you forget that jerk in the yellow SUV.
A collection of more than one hundred very funny haiku (or honku), this book shines its brights on the dark side of America’s car culture. Distilling the daily horrors of driving, parking, and ordering from the drive-through into a time-honored and respected verse form, Honku transforms annoying moments behind the wheel into the stuff of poetry and will leave you in a state of enlightenment and bliss. Well, at the very least it’ll make you laugh. A diverting read that may inspire you to pen your own haiku, Honku is the perfect fit for the glove compartment, to be pored over while you’re stalled in traffic on the interstate. Synopsis:The perfect gift for the frustrated motorist in all of us: a collection of hilarious and supremely clever haikus about the vicissitudes of driving. For anyone who's been enraged by the legions of inconsiderate and just plain bad drivers on America's roads--from aggressive eighteen-wheelers and supersize SUVs to elderly drivers who can't decide on a lane and cell-phone-toting motorists who don't pay attention to the road--Honku: The Zen Antidote to Road Rage is the ideal solution. With more than one hundred very funny and knowing haikus, Honku shines its light on all aspects of our often crazy car culture. A diverting, amusing read that will laugh you out of your road rage, Honku is the perfect fit for the bookshelf or the glove compartment. I hear in New York shortest distance in time is from green light to honk. Our new minivan: So many cupholders it Needs a dishwasher. There are only three types of drivers: the insane, The morons, and me.
