The Art of the Peeve has been in the making for twenty years. For sixteen of those years, they appeared as a column in The Zephyr, a paper located in Galesburg, Illinois. The last four years, they have appeared in the blog site thepeever.com. These are the best of the thousands that were written. The book lists the peeves as they appeared each year over that twenty-year span. In addition, each year starts off with a creative nonfiction story that is primarily memoir, personal, meditative, or lyrical. The peeves cover a lot of territory. They are provocative, stimulating, and full of spiritual, psychological, and political commentary using satire, humor, and often laced with a good bit of baloney. They are designed to encourage discussion and challenge the belief system most of us inherit from our parents. They are not meant to demean any person, although at times the author skirts right on the edge of making fun of a particular person. Sorry, but the whole purpose is to peeve you. A lot of the peeves express feelings about things that many people have a hard time talking about. The author has no such problems. Straightforward, unapologetic, and with no remorse, the peeves drive home the other side of most stories. This is not a book for those favoring the status quo or for the faint of heart.

This hilarious book invites you to sit down and share dinner with the Morans, a family of ten children, and after dinner to share in the familys pranks and crises. You will walk the streets of Carmel, Indiana, a quiet, small town, visit its shops, and meet its neighborly people. Along the way, you will learn what it was like growing up in a large family in a small town during the 1950s and 1960s. Whimsical and, at times, knee-slapping tales guide you through childhood, teen years, early adulthood, and beyond. You get a peek at family dynamics and the struggles of an insecure boys first encounters with romance. You also learn what it was like to be a journalist, a government economist, a parent, and a golf fanatic. The stories are warm, touching, and always funny. The people you meet, mostly based on the authors siblings, are friendly and fun-loving. The situations, based on real events and family lore, will keep you laughing. The author helps you see life through humors prism.

HANGOVER-All hard-working Charley Stutsman had to do was bid his clients nighty-night and return to his hotel. Then, first thing, get the contract signed, closing the biggest deal in company history. Charley's only problem is getting past the seductive cocktail lounge where he's tempted to stop for "just one more". Every salesman's worst nightmare! THE DAY FARLEY KISSED NATALIE WOOD-TV game show winner Will Mozart's financially stuck making a Hollywood "epic" only to learn the film's director-Will's brother Farley-is also mired up to his jodhpurs with some serious bad guys! These thugs want their money and, as Will learns the hard way, they couldn't care less where it comes from! PENALTY STROKE-Things go haywire when what begins as friendly needling between two members of a golfing foursome suddenly turns ugly. Forget all that "gentlemen's game" nonsense, this quite possibly could be the quintessential golf round from hell! THAT THING ABOUT HARRY-Poor Harry Cork. Nearly bald and overweight, he just lost a big promotion because his bosses don't think he's very presentable. Now he learns his precious niece has disappeared! What else could possibly go wrong, Harry wonders, but he sure doesn't have to wonder very long! INSTANT REPLAY-Suppose you could turn back the clock for five seconds by pulling a string on a silly little doll. And you can do this over and over-no one ever sees you doing it-and you can quickly change things for five seconds after you've pulled the little string!
