What would you do if you were ACCIDENTALLY elected mayor of your hometown? This book is based on the hilarious true story, straight from the perspective of comedian Jeremy Nunes, of what happened when he accidentally got elected Mayor of the small-town of Dawson, Illinois. Midwest Book Review says, “You Can’t Write City Hall cultivates a delightful blend of insights on political processes, memoir, and a comedian's unique perspective.” The Epoch Times simply said, “Tremendous!” Governor Mike Huckabee called it, “Absolutely hilarious!" You Can’t Write City Hall shares the same humor as Parks and Recreation, Schitt’s Creek, Corner Gas, and Lake Wobegon Days. Best-selling author Jeremy Nunes is a Second City graduate, featured on Dry Bar Comedy and Amazon Prime, who simply wanted to do some good and help his hometown. Instead, he put himself right in the middle of a real-life comedy. You'll laugh as Jeremy tries to inspire the board room’s rustic characters, motivate quirky employees, and appease the complainers from his one-horse town. You'll find yourself rooting for Jeremy as he turns and starts firing back at adversaries like he would hecklers at a comedy club. Readers can escape their troubles by enjoying this first-hand account of a comedian juggling every segment of small-town drama. Get your copy now!
Fight City Hall and Win
How often have you seen a development built that no one wanted or needed -- ruining the neighborhood, harming the landscape, and wrecking property values -- despite grumbling and protests by the neighbors, and sometimes without anyone even knowing it was going to happen until it was too late? All across America, bad development is approved because ordinary people don't have the knowledge they need to stand up and fight back. At any time, you can get a public notice telling you a notorious real estate developer has applied for a permit to build nearby. Will you know how to respond? Will you know what steps to take to protect your rights? Fight City Hall and Win gives ordinary folks the insider knowledge they need to protect their neighborhoods. It is filled with humor, irony, and true-to-life bedtime stories that teach readers how to take on the good old boys at city hall -- and win.
Conversations with Sarah Schulman
Author: Will Brantley

Publisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
Release Date: 2024-01-30
The twenty-four interviews collected in Conversations with Sarah Schulman, roughly a fifth of those that exist, have enabled Schulman to expound upon her distinctive fusion of art and social commitment. Ranging from major forums to smaller venues, and covering a period of more than thirty years, these interviews provide full evidence of Schulman’s value as a pivotal player in the intellectual life of her time. Schulman’s career as a writer, activist, teacher, and oral historian is now in its fifth decade. Spanning multiple fiction genres, her eleven novels include After Delores (1988), Rat Bohemia (1995), The Child (2007), and Maggie Terry (2018). A native New Yorker, Schulman (b. 1958) writes for the people that she writes about—women and men making the most of a society that seems continually marked by homophobia, which Schulman regards as less a phobia than an unacknowledged pleasure system. Readers have come to relish Schulman’s provocations, nowhere more so than through her books of nonfiction on topics such as gentrification and the interlocking nature of conflict and abuse. And since the early 1980s, when Schulman worked as a journalist, readers have come to applaud her searing indictments of the nation’s woeful response to its AIDS crisis. Schulman has received the Kessler Award from CLAGS: The Center for LGBTQ Studies in honor of her body of work that has influenced the field of gay and lesbian studies, as well as the Bill Whitehead Award from Publishing Triangle for lifetime achievement. She holds an endowed chair in creative writing at Northwestern University.
