Les Pages aux Folles

HOME PAGE THOUGHT OF THE WEEK:

The comedian who was told not to repeat her jokes in court was given a gag order...

Welcome to Les Pages aux Folles, a collection of satirical writings and comedic doodles. The most recently written articles can be found in the New section; two or three (or sometimes four or five) will appear each Sunday. Collections of older material (currently numbering 48: 39 books of prose and nine of cartoons) appear in the Archive.

Enjoy,
Ira Nayman

The Daily Me - Melania Anonymia

"Bloody Americans want credit for inventing everything!" complained MP Frank Caputo. "Well, let me tell you, Canadian politicians have been hypocrites for decades, possibly going back to Confederation! I daresay we could teach the Yanks a thing or two about talking out of both sides of your mouth! Not, uhh, that I'm bragging or anything..."

Les Pages aux Folles extra features

Les Pages aux Folles is morphing into a hybrid fiction site/author's page. How can you tell? It now has a bio page! If you are interested in how I got to this point, go to: Ira Nayman: A Life to Laugh At. Enjoy.

If that isn't authory enough for you, below, you will find links to excerpts from my novels. This may, I don't know, hard to tell, but it's possible spur some readers to want to dip their mind toes (you're welcome for that image) into some of my more narrative fiction. If you go to my page of links to where you can buy my books page, you will find links to all of my novels, most of the anthologies in which I have had shorts stories published, and even the issues of Amazing Stories and Amazing Selects that I worked on as editor. There is much to enjoy here. Have fun.
