Sanity by Sunrise

About the Book

Mr. Sherman, an old English teacher, retired now on his dreamed-of mountain top, is up in the night with another attack of Post-Teaching Stress Syndrome. For this self-diagnosed affliction, he tries ill-advised self-psychoanalysis and “encounter,” going for a cure--by morning. But this man has demons, and the night is long!

About the Author

Gary Weibye was born at an early age, as was the custom in Minnesota. Two years later, America was plunged into war. A coincidence, probably. Comic books about the war got him started reading; a little rubber stamp outfit got him printing--menus, mainly, underfoot there in his mother’s kitchen; a Sears-Roebuck catalogue gave him the truth: life is a whole bunch of things! He would write. The rest of his career was school: elementary, secondary, college, then teaching, moving from the rural midwest to a southern city. Whenever he wrote, he needled The Establishment, but The Establishment let him live. He liked to place truths side-by-side and dare people to say they were unrelated. He loved exposing elaborate fiascoes. He was a reluctant participant in four decades of tinkering which produced a “Little Johnny” who can’t read, write, make change, or find his continent on a globe. Weibye is retired now, and writing.
