Implicating extremes from Coriolanus to Karen Carpenter, David McGimpsey''s Sitcom is both serious poetry and a work of comedy. Mischievous, generous and side-splittingly funny, this collection of wry soliloquies and sonnets begins with a milestone birthday and finds itself in demi-mondes as varied as the offices of university regents and the basic plot arc of Hawaii Five-O - offering, along the way, a sincere contemplationof mortality and the fashion sense of Mary Tyler Moore. Unembarrassed by its literary allusions or its hi-lo hybridity, Sitcom''s strategic and encompassing voice is prepared for each comedic disaster and is, somehow, always ready for next week''s episode.''McGimpsey displays erudition, clever insights and a knack for the wickedly funny wisecrack.''- The Washington Post''[McGimpsey] finds thehumanity hiding in the hilarity. This guy is as funny as David Sedaris, and more inventive.''- The Ottawa Citizen | Sitcom by David McGimpsey Paperback | Indigo Chapters Books > Poetry > Canadian Poetry P10106, David McGimpsey<
