Sassoon's Sketches: Second Edition

By: Elias Sassoon

I begin. There is nothing. There are no thoughts, no actions. The blank page stares back at me. I wonder where the ideas will come from? Battling through the fears and self doubts. I doubt myself. I don't know why! I have always been the shy, scared clown? Why! Could my childhood, filled with put-downs and empty of praises, hold the key? That's too easy. In truth, my nature is spun from my father's, and his sense of inferiority and dissatisfaction. Does this help me as I sit here amidst skyscraper avenue attempting to formulate these sketches. Wait! My pen is quivering. The words are forming around an idea; I have the picture. Contact! I am ready to start writing these thirty-seven pieces for your delight, pieces sometimes humorous, usually thoughtful, and always entertaining.

Sassoon's Sketches for a Saturday Afternoon

By: Elias Sassoon

Constantine Vlacmose was anything, but weird. How could a weird man hold down a responsible job like his, a job that called for the utmost stability, mental clarity, intestinal fortitude, fearlessness, well, you get the idea now. You don't think being a cabby in New York City is easy, do you! You try dealing with the crowded streets, the thousands of cars, buses, and trucks, two million on-rushing pedestrians, blaring noise, accidents, cops, firefighters, and assorted other distractions. Easy, are you joking! From: Are You An Ass, A Fool, Or A You-Know-What? So begins one of Elias Sassoon's short stories in Sassoon's Sketches For A Saturday Afternoon.Sassoon is often humorous, usually thoughtful, and always entertaining in these enchanting tales.

Sassoon's Heart Beatings: the Collected Poetry of Elias Sassoon

By: Elias Sassoon

There are fifteen chapters in this book of poetry. In each chapter there are appropriately 20 to 25 poems. The chapters topics include ones exploring self, humor, places Iâ€™ve been, early youth, relationships with my father and mother, one on ravings, another on death, and another on personalities from work, among others. Here is one poem of the many: CHILD COUNTINGCounting now.Today putting the digits together.One, two, three, four, six.No says the teacher, wrong says the teacher.One, three, four, five, six.No says the teacher, wrong says the teacher.One, two, four, five, six.Wrong again says the teacher.The boy looks at the teacher.The boy says to the teacher.It doesn't matter at all ever.The teacher looks at the boy.The teacher says.One, two, three, four, five, six.The close of another school day.

Explosions in the First Person: More of Sassoon's Short Stories

By: Elias Sassoon

3 story openings, 3 first person story accounts. â€¦ I am a wife and a mother. Think I do both well. I provide for all the needs of my husband and that includes the sexual thing. Why am I bitching? Wouldn't you if you suddenly find dirty books in my husband's dresser drawer. They're not just dirty but disgusting. From DIRTY BOOKS POLISHED CLEANâ€¦"Why is it mom, you don't talk to your sisters?" my single daughter asks. A natural question, one sheâ€™s asked before. Sure she'd be curious. I have five sisters and don't speak to any of them. From: SISTERS IN ANGER AND INDIFFERENCEâ€¦. Don't think I have to justify myself to you, but I will to teach you a lesson. There are those who say it's stupid to get involved in finance; they're the same ones who ask for handouts. Never had to ask for a handout in my life, not for myself or for Ronnie, my wife. Knock on wood, I'm now sending the my girls through college. Had it planned years ago. Pretty good right! â€¦From: A MONEY MAN EXPLAINING HIS POSITION

Sassoon On The Art Of Creative Writing

By: Elias Sassoon

The book is a compilation of articles I wrote for my daily blog on Facebook. The focal point is the life of the everyday, beaten-down writer and what it takes to be a writer facing the ordinary adversities of the craft. I don't try to sugarcoat anything; instead, I attempt to let you know what it means to be a functioning writer who struggles for each word, and struggles with the lack of financial and commercial success. How does the ordinary writer who works at a mundane job by day and writes by night hold it together? How do they continue to be productive? How do they continue to inspire themselves in a world that doesn't care? How do they keep themselves from becoming bored? All of this is explored in the articles contained in this small book on the creative writing process. I hope it can act as an inside look to all those interested in the subject or working in the field.

Sassoon's Friends

By: Elias Sassoon

She was tall, dark and one hell of a handsome, sexy woman, still roaring to go even in her late forties. She bounced through the bar wearing her tight pink sweater, tight black leather pants and high-heeled, high-rising black boots. Her nails were long like a cat and red. Her eyes burned with desire. There, a man of good build, wide chest, and tight rump, stood. Not a bad face, she thought. Yes, he might do. From: Swing A Soft Stick. So begins one of Elias Sassoon's often humorous, thoughtful, and entertaining stories in Sassoon's Friends.

The Sassoon Society

By: Elias Sassoon

Sarah and Abraham (Abe) Klein lived ordinary lives for most of their existence. There were the ups and downs, money troubles, sickness, and disappointments, but nothing uncommon. It changed in their golden years. They'd become wards of the court, so to speak, or, better said, pawns in the struggle between their daughter, Abigail and son-in-law, Zaki. In the process, they'd lose their freedom and their lives. Supported financially by their daughter, and living under her roof, they became the subjects of pity. They also became defenseless in the face of attack by their son-in-law. From: PEACEFUL LIVES STRETCHED TO THE END So begins one of Elias Sassoon's stories in The Sassoon Society. Sassoon is often humorous, usually thoughtful, and always entertaining in these enchanting tales.

Flushed Diamonds Lost

By: Elias Sassoon

The novel opens with the thoughts of our main character, one isolated American man. Sitting here, not so bad, the last white man in Flushing, not so bad. Being here, in this apartment, not so bad. Noise, yes, but can live with that, I think. Not so bad. But, probably, cause I keep saying, not so bad, you really think it is, bad that is. Maybe I should say something like it's tolerable. That's right, tolerable in Flushing, the last white male living, a foreigner in my own neighborhood, isolated from all. Flushing tolerable, historical, established in the seventeenth century by the Dutch Never know it if you looked at Flushing today with its Asian Pagodas and signs in Korean and Chinese - fascinating place, especially for me, a writer. Asians today, Dutch yesterday. Who tomorrow? Reminds me, Asians. Mysterious. Keep to themselves, quiet and shrewd. Can't relate. Why bother? At fifty, it's no big deal anymore.

An Individual's Dream: Essays on the Philosophy of Sassoon

By: Elias Sassoon

The individual is under constant What is an individual? How are they distinguished from the mass man? What is role identity and how is it incompatible with individualism? How is the abstraction, the ideology, the religious identity incompatible with individualism? Why is the crowd opposed to the individual? What methods does it use to suppress them? How can individuals fight back against the masses aligned against them? These questions are explored in this collection of essays.Those representing collectivization are in charge everywhere. From their thrones, they rule with the goal of destroying individuality along with the individualâ€™s creativity and originality, except in cases where those qualities can be used to raise profit margins. These collectivized humans, always dull, unoriginal and walking clichÃ©s possess the physical power of the majority. This makes the individual vulnerable and a target. If the individual does not stand their ground, they are lost to the maddening crowd.

Pig's Court America: Paperback Edition

By: Elias Sassoon

The novel follows Bernard (Bernie) Courtman, an obese glutton who is also a shyster, fool, sociopath, and philosopher. A remarkable egotist, Bernie's the ultimate salesman who peddles the world's inconsequential on street corners everywhere. When not doing that, he's manipulating our bankruptcy laws and credit regulations to fill his coffers and finance his other schemes.

While in the midst of his exploits, he makes time to succor the helpless and bring joy to the joyless. Pig's Court America is a comedic examination of society's wayward economic system and mores that offers a running social commentary. This includes an exploration of our misplaced materialism, and its results.
