THE LOBBY is headed to the Frankfurt Book Fair Oct 19-23

SAN FRANCISCO - Sept. 29, 2016 - PRLog -- THE LOBBY (Friesen Press) the award winning novel by humorist Randi M Sherman is headed to the Frankfurt book fair Hall 6, Booth #A56.

The Lobby offers a funny, quirky alternative novel featuring over fifty interlinked stories and a gigantic ensemble cast of characters, all linked by happenchance presence at the Shipley Hotel during the same twenty-four hour period. The larger book is structured in a series of micro-fictions and succeeds best as it offers, through comedy, portraits of the times we all currently live in. By making the reader laugh, the author Randi M. Sherman is able to make them hold a mirror up to themselves, our popular culture, our lifestyles, and our current obsessions, be those serious or mundane.

The Lobby's particular brand of satire via "reverse expectations" for comedic effect, those "mirror‐ reversed" moments that make us see contemporary culture in a novel way.

One of the most appealing elements in having the entire book contained in this single space and transpire within a single day. It is a simple yet unique device, one that is fun to watch at work, and one which creates a certain degree of pleasant anticipation as readers want to see characters and storylines return as the book proceeds and for which readers await unpredictable intersections of the lives they encounter.
