<span style="font-weight: bold">The Most You Will Ever Laugh!</span>
For more than a decade, Joelle Cohen Wright, wrote hilarious Jamaican interpretations of major news stories and current events have been entertaining readers across the globe. Joelle will be the first to admit that she has the ability to see humor in every aspect of life. Her comedic writings have been ‘viral’ in e-mails and on the Internet for several years. What is fascinating about this is, very few readers knew the “face” or the name behind the stories and sketches. You see, Joelle’s writings were circulated anonymously. Those who knew her personally repeatedly told her, “You should really write a book”, and that she did.
A diverse writer of poems, short sketches, and parodies, Joelle, set out on a journey to write her first collection of character - driven sketches, written in a playwright format, entitled, “A Soh Wi Do It!” The book portrays the humorous, assertive and sometimes contentious personalities of Jamaicans, using expressions and mannerisms intrinsic to the culture of Jamaica.
This book is especially geared to”Yaadies” who love a good laugh and those who understand and can appreciate Jamaica’s rich cultural traditions, ethnic diversity and community dynamics. This book features four different sections (series): Mix Up and Blenda Series, The GPS Navigation Series, The Dread’s Response Series, and Yaad Fowl and Farrin Fowl Series. The stories are set in Jamaica at specific events written with all the elements of Jamaican patois expressions that produce a dramatic, engaging and comical outcome.
Susan Levy Allen, Bank Manager living in Florida, had this to say about the author and the book, " …I could not stop laughing, tears were rolling down my cheeks, my sides were splitting! Joelle writes in such a way that you can actually visualize the scenes, and having been a participant in some similar instances during my years in Jamaica, it is all the more realistic to me."
This book is now available from Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com.
