Playwright and critic Marshall Yaeger brings us a new and unique literary work, "Happiness Is No Laughing Matter". Starting in 1959 when he was a young student, Marshall Yaeger takes us through his evolution as a writer, actor and theater director. A deeply personal work, he comments on his own accomplishments, his failures and disappointments and—by coming to terms with his homosexuality—his slow discovery of his true self.

Yaeger concludes that happiness can be born out of tragedy.  That it is hidden and often has nothing at all to do with laughter.  We can think of terrible things that happen in our lives, that in the end, bring us unexpected joy.  Happiness is a subtle thread that weaves throughout each of our lives and it’s our job to be conscious enough to recognize and seize it in the moment, for exactly what it is.

In the end, “Happiness” is not a book instructing us how to be “happy”.  It is a work for readers who are looking for a thought-provoking and enticing read.
