Roars of Laughter

A deeply felt and carefully considered first novel.

‘There is in everyone’s life, no matter how short, a lone period when time passes quickly, when there is only joy and happiness, when beauties are more beautiful, when senses of achievement and satisfaction are highest, and when fulfilment is completed. The period may last one half second, it may last ten years, it may last a lifetime. The period is called a Roar of Laughter.’ Thus Mr Yesax, the teacher, to his pupils. The pupils are duly impressed, as pupils tend to be. This is an account of their Roars.
