Who's Publishing What: Everyday is a Saturday

By Jerry Zezima

Award-winning humorist Jerry Zezima’s newest book, Every Day Is Saturday: Sleeping Late, Playing With the Grandchildren, Surviving the Quarantine, and Other Joys of Retirement, has been described as “a funny look at life after work, a cheerful guide to making it through a lockdown, and — best of all — an enduring love story.

Zezima, who writes a humor column for Hearst Connecticut Media Group, calls Erma Bombeck “a great influence.” His column is distributed by Tribune News Service of Chicago and has run in newspapers nationwide and abroad.

In all, he is the author of five books: Leave It to Boomer, The Empty Nest Chronicles, Grandfather Knows Best, Nini and Poppie’s Excellent Adventures and Every Day Is Saturday, all of which he describes as “crimes against literature.”

He has won seven awards from the National Society of Newspaper Columnists for his humorous writing.
