Aprašymas

Hawthorne: Hazed Hooked Hammered and Hijacked is a collection of twelve Nathaniel Hawthorne classic novellas that have been creatively rewritten and satirized into adult parody form featuring adult content and language. When author Jay Dubya had been a New Jersey public school English teacher, he often enjoyed reading and discussing Nathaniel Hawthorne's "influential literature" with his sometimes enlightened middle and high school academic students. For many years Nathaniel Hawthorne had attempted to become an established popular fiction writer. After a decent New England college education, Hawthorne soon returned to familiar Salem, Massachusetts where the aspiring author lived with his mother and sisters for twelve years, staying secluded in a lonely room writing short stories and novel manuscripts. In 1837, his first work titled Twice-Told Tales was successfully published. Hawthorne was chummy with some of the more famous New England literary writers of his time including Herman Melville, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Two of Hawthorne's better known works are novels The Scarlet Letter and The House of the Seven Gables. "Young Goodman Brown," "The Great Stone Face" and "Rappaccini's Daughter" are three of the author's best known short stories. Most of Hawthorne's retelling of classic stories from mythology had been published in his work Tanglewood Tales. Another famous Nathaniel Hawthorne short story collection is Twice Told Tales, which includes the selections "The Minister's Black Veil," "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment" and "The Great Carbuncle." Hawthorne: Hazed, Hooked, Hammered & Hijacked is Jay Dubya's forty-eighth published hardcover/paperback book. The author's works also exist in Kindle, Nook and Smashwords e-book formats. The pseudonym Jay Dubya is a corruption of John Wiessner's initials "J.W." John is married to wife Joanne and the couple has three grown sons. John and Joanne currently live in Hammonton, NJ, USA.
