"Rhode Island may most accurately be described as the swampland surrounding Narragansett Bay." Thus starts RhodeIslandiana, a humorous satire of the state of Rhode Island. It comprises bits and pieces of Rhode Island, as a contemporary and historical miscellany presented in a personal narrative. It is offered as social, cultural and political satire. The book knocks Rhode Island icons and excoriates its politicians, public personalities and characters with incidents gathered for more than thirty-five years, and in as droll a manner as possible. Rhode Island is a funny place, which is not known among the states of the Union. The funniest thing about the book is that all the incidents, events, people and episodes that are portrayed are true, and really happened. They are merely nipped and tucked to fit the narrative. There is no fanciful or forced humorous invention. The book answers the question of whether there truly exists such a place as Rhode Island, and if it legally is a state of the United States. Some Americans have doubted it, and it may not be! ********** RHODE ISLAND IS THE MAGICAL, MYTHICAL, BEAUTIFUL, UNIQUE, CORRUPT (AND FUNNY) KINGDOM BY THE SEA!Cattan, T. R. is the author of 'RhodeIslandiana' with ISBN 9781418438487 and ISBN 1418438480.
