Robert Kettering

Robert Kettering divides his time between the U.S.A. and France (Colorado Springs and Courbevoie, to be more precise). In the United States, his time fragments among shopping malls, television stations and the humor website dearprofessorknowledge.com, whereas in France, life is simpler, usually apportioned more or less equally between the café on the corner and the one down the street. Over the years, he has hobnobbed with many famous literary figures, and enjoys dropping names and telling stories about these characters. Samuel Beckett, for example, was a drinking buddy of his for several months without Mr. Kettering being aware of Sam's full name, literary achievements or their mutual eminence. He did most of the talking and all of the bragging. "Ticket On A Crippled Crab" is something else. He hopes you will enjoy reading it.
