When Jeffrey Koterba was six, he started drawing his first cartoons, painstakingly copying from the Sunday Omaha World Herald’s funny papers and making up his own characters. With a pen and a sheet of white paper, he was able to escape into a world that was clean, expansive, and comfortable—a refuge from the pandemonium surrounding him. The tiny house Koterba grew up in was full-to-bursting with garage-sale treasures and televisions his father Art repaired and sold for extra money. A hard-drinking one-time jazz drummer whose big dreams never seemed to come true, Art was subject to violent facial and vocal tics—symptoms of Tourette’s Syndrome, a condition Jeffrey inherited—as well as explosions of temper and eccentricity that kept the Koterba family teetering on the brink of disaster. From the canyons of broken electronics, the lightning strikes, screaming matches, and discouragements great and small emerged a young man determined to follow his creative spirit to grand heights. And much to his surprise, he found himself on a journey back to his family and the father he once longed to escape. An exuberant, heart-felt memoir that calls to mind The Tender Bar and Fun Home, Inklings is infused with an irresistible optimism all its own.

"Melanie McGuire was indicted for murdering her husband, after he washed ashore, in parts, on the Virginia coast, neatly packed into three trunks of his own monogrammed luggage." How this event can be spit-out-your-coffee funny is the subject of Are You Going To Eat That?, a book of fifty-eight hilarious stories. Short, irreverent, preposterous-like Danny DeVito, if he were an essay. Says Jeff Koterba, editorial cartoonist for the World-Herald: "I don't know if David Sedaris blogs, but if he does, his postings might read like one of Michael Campbell's hilarious essays." Michael Campbell is an editor and regular columnist for Food & Spirits Magazine. For fifteen years he has written for nationally-distributed entertainment newsletters Coffee Break and Facts of Life, and his humor has appeared in numerous issues of Reader's Digest. His weekly blog, MC, reaches thousands of readers.

As pointed out in my last two publications, no comprehensive study has been undertaken about the American Learned Men and Women with Czechoslovak roots. The aim of this work is to correct this glaring deficiency, with the focus on immigration from the period of mass migration and beyond, irrespective whether they were born in their European ancestral homes or whether they have descended from them. Whereas in the two mentioned monographs, the emphasis has been on scholars and social and natural scientists; and men and women in medicine, applied sciences and engineering, respectively, the present compendium deals with notable Americans of Czechoslovak ancestry in arts and letters, and in education. With respect to women, although most professional fields were closed to them through much of the nineteenth century, the area of arts and letters was opened to them, as noted earlier and as this compendium authenticates.
