Funny, Wicked and Wise: Ideas You May Enjoy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425101985)

Styx Mundstock's real name is Lorenz, but only close friends and relatives know that! Born in Chicago into a family of artists, he spent a year at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago before being drafted into the U.S. Army in 1943. An infantry private in France, he received the Bronze Star. After the war he was stationed in Germany and Austria. Back in the States he graduated from the University of Chicago, 1958, with an M.A. in Philosophy. He taught philosophy at Los Angeles Harbor College for 35 years. Then he and his wife Lee moved to Lummi Island, Washington, where they continue to create, write, laugh and love. Editor and friend Karen Weber studied literature and science at Wartburg College, Waverly, Iowa. Other education in her travels include psychology and educational research. Her skills in living an unstructured life made her the perfect second or third choice to organize Styx's thoughts. She also lives and paints on Lummi Island.
