dc.description.abstractEven Poodles Can Fly is a collection of humorous essays and stories based on personal memories. These stories explore and interpret the events of life, from early childhood to coming-of-age episodes, romantic interests, the bewilderment of adolescence, and maturity in early adulthood and finding one’s place in the world. The stories, some of which have been given the shape of fiction, are driven by creative and existential urgency; they are a coming to terms with life, personal anxieties and emotions through writing and humour. The stories are at turns meditative, self-reflective, self-deprecating, confessional, satirical, and amusing. The reflective essay included in the collection is a humorous reflection on the emotional and life journey of the writing process, and it is also an exploration of how and why humour works in memoir and storytellingen_ZA
