Product Description
by Robert McGee (Author)
Told through a series of linked short stories and comedic essays, Nobody Can Pronounce My Name presents the challenges of immigrating and the frustrations of culture shock in a way only a teacher with a playful sense of humor could. Whether it is improving his daughter's English by making horror films with her toys, using comic books to teach the local police department crime scene vocabulary, or by convincing business students they can sound more professional by replacing some of their words with furniture, Robert McGee never fails to find the silliest way to get a point across. Inspired by his own immigration to Germany, this novel-in-stories is Robert McGee's first collection of true stories that never happened. This collection includes pieces that first appeared in The American Bystander, Defenestration, Literally Stories, and Little Old Lady Comedy.
