Award-winning humorist and radio personality David Bouchier has been called "The H.L.Mencken of the subdivisions." He applies his satirical wit, wisdom, and a touch of philosophy to the everyday dramas of suburban life. In this second collection of essays, originally broadcast on National Public Radio stations WSHU and WSUF in Long Island and Connecticut, he explores and explains such quintessentially suburban themes as: the trauma of an empty driveway; romance in the catering hall; a visit from the exterminator; the metaphysics of golf; and the lament of the suburban commuter.
David Bouchier is the award-winning essayist for National Public Radio Stations WSHU & WSUF in Long Island and Connecticut, and hosts the quirky Sunday afternoon classical music program 'Sunday Matinee' on the same stations.
His sixth book is a collection of essays about the craft and business of writing, "Writer at Work," which has just been published. "The Song Of Suburbia," published in 2002, explored the lighter side of life in America. An earlier collection, "The Accidental Immigrant," has just been re-issued in paperback and hard cover editions. His tales of a year in a French village, "The Cats and the Water Bottles, and Other Mysteries of French Village Life," originally broadcast on NPR, are also available in book form. David Bouchier lives in Stony Brook, New York.
