About this ebook
You don’t have to be Jewish to love "My Shorts." But it doesn’t hurt!
This is an uproarious collection of true stories featuring a chubby Cheetos-loving Jewish middle child with overactive sweat glands and an abundant imagination. His tendency toward mischief and twisting the truth complicates grappling with issues of childhood, family, relationships, sexuality, and a hunger to be accepted. From lusting for a BB gun, accidentally setting the family shed on fire, to his “first time” . . . every one of Brian’s stories will make you giggle and feel the nostalgic joy of the messy, hilarious, and poignant journey we call life.
Written with a fresh and honest voice blending humor, Americana culture, and “it’s like I’m right there in the ’60s” scenes and vivid dialogue, "My Shorts" delivers life lessons that stick with you long after reading. Brian’s stories remind you that no matter what, never forget to laugh.

And so it was that He created Brian Kagan. And now that Brian has been to the mountaintop—the Catskills—he’s ready to give the world a look into his shorts. That is, his first collection of short, personal essays.Before turning to writing this collection, Kagan spent an illustrious forty-five-year career as a strategic brand and marketing adviser, working with compa- nies and individuals like Pentax Corporation, FedEx, Westin Hotels, World Relief, First Book, Academy of Country Music, Reba McEntire, Tim McGraw, and Kenny Rogers.
