Thanks for checking things out. Humor is a matter of perspective. No matter (with some exceptions) what the subject is, there is an element of absurdity in the situation and I try to draw that out. In Trial of Tears, the protagonist is mostly blissfully unaware of how bad things are getting around him until events begin to spiral out of hand. It's fun to take the ride and see how he tries to extricate himself and the people he cares about.
Bahaha...Great video, Chris! That's precisely the sort of creativity that leads me to think your books must be equally entertaining. I do enjoy the concept of curling up with a good black comedy/thriller(doesn't everyone?!), and the premise of your novel sounds intriguing. Like your website, too, and so happy to hear you have other writing projects in the works, since surely that means another fun video to follow!
And thank you, Sylvia for introducing us to Chris!
Chris, you're wonderfully creative in and outside your books. It's great to meet you here. And I'm sure I'll be seeing you around for a long time to come.
Sylvia and Chris,
ReplyDeleteVery funny video. Nice website, Chris.
How on earth were you able to work humor into such dark subject matter? I'm intrigued.
Best of luck to you!
