Champagne and Sour Grapes

Gary Buslik

Marriage: bliss or blitz? Champagne and Sour Grapes is a collection of short stories sharing the lows and highs, sorrows and joys, sobs and guffaws of holy and holey matrimony. Sometimes poignant, often hilarious, Buslik's tales hit close to home, spouse-wise. We're sure to recognize something of our giddy selves or screaming-bloody-murder neighbors in these face-smooching and head-biting gems. So pour yourself a flute of Dom P. or paper cup of dimestore boxed wine, relax in your leather lounger or rickety chaise lounge in front of your fireplace or ice-fishing hole, and have a bubbly and briny time knowing you're not alone.

About the Author

In the third grade, Gary Buslik was voted the kid most likely to get the shit beaten out of him. For the first three-and-a-half years of college, he lied to his parents, telling them he was in pre-law. When he was finally exposed as an English major, his mother couldn't stop sobbing, and his father stomped around the house, yelling, " Big man! He knows the parts of speech!" In revenge, Gary earned an English Literature Ph.D. and made his dad call him " Doctor." He currently teaches Shakespeare at the University of Illinois Chicago.
