A few days before the American presidential election, Aussillonnais Mickael Mamou publishes a collection of incredible but 100% authentic American news items.
After his book “America and its funny laws” which had some success, Mickael Mamou from Aussillon is at it again. His latest book, “America and its funny laws” is filled for better and for worse with incredible but true news items.
A judge reduces the sentence of a convict from 5000 to 1500 years in prison… She marries, without knowing it, with the murderer of her eight children… A dentist massages the breasts of his patients to treat a jaw disorder… He escapes the electric chair, but dies electrocuted… In search of a ghost train, he dies when hit by a real train. More than 200 authentic news items and incredible stories from the biggest newspapers and American news channels that the author translated and summarized.
“Over the last 20 years, I have collected thousands of news stories from the biggest American newspapers: The New York Times, Los Angeles Time, The Chicago Tribune, The Washington Post, Houston Chronicle, USA Today, The Boston Globe, The Dallas MorningNews, The Denver Post, etc. As well as those broadcast on the news channels: NBC News, ABC News, Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, CBS News… This work was possible in part thanks to numerous contacts and friends working in the American press, radio and television.”
America and its news stories: 100% true stories
Mickaël knows the United States well, a country he has traveled for 25 years and it is therefore no coincidence that he chose to make it the theme of this book. “News stories, whether unusual, amusing, incredible or simply terrifying, are an inexhaustible source of inspiration. Many novels, films or television series have been inspired by these authentic stories, which sometimes surpass the imagination and bear witness to this irresistible fascination with news items. They are a reflection of the life and image of a society and its times.”
The book is illustrated by the artist and designer Jean-Luc Valera who gives free rein to his wildest imagination.
“You like the unexpected, the incredible, the implausible, so you have the right book in your hands. Sit back and immerse yourself in an America full of the craziest true stories!”
