Wie ertränkt man Tag für Tag den eigenen Schweinehund? Als bekennende Landratte fühlt sich Wigald Boning im nassen Element alles andere als zuhause. Ändert sich dies durch sein selbst verordnetes Schwimm-Programm: 365 Tage lang jeden Tag aufs Neue hinein in die Fluten – bei Wind und Wetter. Boning legt sich mit fauchenden Schwänen an, findet in schlammigen Gründen unerwartete Schätze und streitet mit Frachtschiffkapitänen. Eines Tages verschlägt es ihn ausgerechnet an den Flughafen von Hannover – kein Badesee weit und breit. Doch ein Mitarbeiter raunt ihm zu, es gäbe da dieses Regenwasserrückhaltebecken hinterm Tower, welches wohl noch nie von einem Menschen beschwommen wurde. Ob das die Lösung ist? Und ob! Ein herrlich amüsanter Erfahrungsbericht für alle Boning- und Schwimm-Fans.

[Italian] - Adesso Che Sono Morto
Il primo libro postumo pubblicato con l'autore ancora in vitaMassimo è uno scrittore affermato, nel pieno della maturità artistica e creativa. Per cause non solo a lui misteriose gli capita però un giorno di svegliarsi morto. Da quel nuovo "mondo" nel quale si scopre catapultato assapora il privilegio ma sperimenta pure il dramma di poter assistere a come la vita (degli altri) continui. Il piacere sottile di spiare atteggiamenti e parole di chi gli era sempre stato accanto si alterna alla sofferenza impotente al cospetto dello svelarsi impietoso di inattesi sentimenti nei suoi confronti che in tanti gli avevano taciuto e che ora, in sua assenza, prorompono spontanei e non trovano argine neppure in quel senso del pudore che il rispetto per chi non c'è più dovrebbe salvaguardare. Fanno male e meritano perciò i suoi strali i troppi farisei che sfoderano adesso a tempo scaduto e senza reticenza una sincerità postuma così dolorosamente rivelatrice. Tra stilettate pungenti e coraggiosi pretesti per provare comunque a sorridere, il protagonista di questo singolare viaggio nel mare tempestoso dei ricordi e dei propri dubbi troverà soltanto alla fine una qualche sia pur approssimativa forma di conciliazione. Con se stesso e con quello strano impulso emotivo mai sopito che si potrebbe chiamare amore per l'umanità. PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

My Life: The Sitcom: Second Edition
Welcome to My Life: The Sitcom, featuring the panderings and ponderings of Yours Truly, Chadd Wheat. Believe it or not, many of you have actually asked for this book. I don't know if you intend on using it for the bottom of the birdcage, evidence in impending legal actions, or simply as a guide to living frivolously. Whatever the case, I hope you enjoy it. I started writing My Life: The Sitcom in 2002. Most of my articles, as published in The Lebanon Reporter and elsewhere, are my direct observations on the craziness that surrounds my life. Nearly all the events contained herein are actually true, with the names sometimes changed to protect the ignorant. People often ask me where I get the inspiration to write my ludicrous columns. After rubbing my chin and looking sage, I usually say something like, 'by consuming too much reality television, caffeine and other borderline hallucinogens. Ha, ha! Just kidding, local law enforcement! As a matter of fact, I never watch reality television!
