BÉRNARD MARRON: LAST YEAR'S CHAOS

A Year of Unending Disasters

Bernard Marron was a master of chaos. His life was a whirlwind of catastrophe, a maelstrom of misfortune. He was a man who walked into walls, tripped over his own feet, and set off the fire alarm at his office building at least once a week.

But amidst all the mayhem, he managed to write 12 best-selling novels, 7 critically acclaimed short stories, and 2 moderately successful cookbooks. He was a man of many talents, and even more many mishaps.

Some of his most notable works include:

• "The Art of Burning Water" - A sweeping epic about a man who accidentally sets off the fire sprinkler system in his apartment building.
• "The Chronicles of My Many, Many Failures" - A collection of short stories about the time he spilled coffee on his shirt, locked himself in a phone booth, and other minor catastrophes.
• "The Joy of Cooking: 101 Ways to Set Off the Fire Alarm" - A cookbook filled with recipes that will make you question the sanity of the author.
