"Wise Men & Other Stories: Lessons from the Holidays on Santa,
God, Heaven, Death & More Fun Stuff from Someone Who Still Has
a Lot to Learn" is a collection of holiday-related essays that
blend humor and poignancy in the tradition of Robert Fulghum, Dave
Barry, Bill Bryson, P.J. O'Rourke and other great American
humorists. "This collection started with 'Wise Men, '" says O'Mary.
"It was a story from my childhood about a poor kid from my old
neighborhood and the lesson I learned when we were both cast as
wise men in the school play." That story was published in
newspapers across the nation and broadcast on National Public
Radio's "Morning Edition" program, and so began a tradition of
holiday essays from Mike O'Mary. Over the years, the essays in this
collection were read as part of "Morning Edition" on Northern
Illinois Public Radio, and published in the Sunday magazines of the
Chicago Tribune, Denver Post, Rocky Mountain News, Baltimore Sun,
Cleveland Plain Dealer, Detroit Free Press and elsewhere. Along the
way, O'Mary developed a cult following for his holiday stories.
"O'Mary has a gift for simple, frank exposition of life's most
poignant moments," says author Stephen Parrish (The Tavernier
Stones). In Wise Men and Other Stories, O'Mary shares that gift
with all of us. Enjoy this priceless collection of humorous and
thoughtful stories this holiday season -- and for many holidays to
come.
