This novella covers two genres, fiction and nonfiction. An elderly man, Tony, with American, German and Australian nationalities, tells his story: how he receives a wedding invitation from a former girlfriend that he hadn’t seen and heard of for decades. This invitation creates emotional upheaval in his life, but also turns his life into a massive challenge. His former girlfriend sends him a photo of herself. She looks beautiful and sexy. He contemplates attending the wedding. But first he has to lose fifty five pounds, that’s twenty five kilograms. That’s how he sees it. He not only wants to attend the wedding, he also wants to make love to his former girlfriend, just once more. At this point the nonfiction part of the story kicks in. Tony tells the reader how he goes about trying to change himself from an old, fat, ugly and sick looking man into a young looking, slim, handsome and healthy man. However, there is one major problem. He doesn’t have a lot of time. The wedding date is his deadline.

About the Author Fred Schäfer was born in the south of Germany and left home at the age of nineteen. A few years later he discovered the world of literature. Two of his books, "The Short and Wonderful Life of Henry Hemingway" and "Travelling with Maria", provide insight into the early years of his life. "The Mysterious Man" completes the picture, although not entirely, because "The Mysterious Man" is a novel, not an autobiography. Or is it both? A book in which reality and fiction merge? At the age of thirty six, the author and his family moved to Australia, where they still reside. He worked as an engineer and IT manager. He became a professional speaker and made himself a name as presenter of Think Like A Winner seminars. During those years, he wrote two nonfiction books: "The Solution Within Yourself" and "Success, Money and You". A few years later he published the essence of his seminars in his third nonfiction book, "How to Make Great Things Happen in YOUR LIFE". Fred Schäfer's heart belongs to the world of literature, which to him means fiction. He wrote eight novels, three in German and five in English. His English novels are: "An Almighty Conspiracy", "The Invention of the Big Bang", "The 92-Year-Old Lady Who Made Me Steal a Dead Man's Car", "The Mysterious Man" and "Don't Mention the FBI". "The 92-Year-Old Lady Who Made Me Steal a Dead Man's Car", clearly, is Fred Schäfer's most imaginative literary fiction novel. As the subtitle of the book says, it is a thrilling and seriously funny novel. The author demonstrates his creative power to an almost unimaginable degree. Literary characters from the books of his heroes come alive and attempt something, which would make their authors, if they knew about it, scream in horror or roll over in their graves.

A Quirkily Entertaining Journey By Andrea Parke Invitation to a Former Girlfriend’s Wedding shows, I think, just how good a writer Fred Schafer really is.For one thing, it’s primarily about losing weight - a subject of very little interest to me since I’m a trim and fit sportsperson who works out with weights, swims regularly in the pool and has been known to run for miles along beaches. Losing weight is the last thing I need to worry about.Yet, Mr Schafer kept my interest throughout and did it mainly through the entertaining quality of his writing.The story, such as it is - for it turns out to be more of a breezy self-help manual for overeaters - concerns Tony, a fat, overweight, sick old man who receives an invitation to a former girlfriend’s wedding.After seeing a photo of his former girlfriend (and a surprise is in store here), he decides not only to accept, but to spend 12 months losing weight in hope becoming attractive enough to have a final fling with herThat’s not giving too much away because the story contains a major surprise which you’ll never guess. I will say, however, that its a positive surprise which is well in keeping with the tone of the book.And what’s Clink Eastwood doing in it? You’ll have to find that out for yourself, but again, it’s quite believable and enjoyable.My only beef with this book - small as it is at 14,000 words - was the amount of time spent on how to lose weight and why most people who try to lose weight fail. It’s not until Chapter 21 that we return to Tony’s quest to meet his old girlfriend at her wedding and get on with the plot.But when the plot does resume, its surprising and enjoyable and leaves you with a good feeling.I recommend this book to anyone who needs inspiration to lose weight. Mr Schafer does have a very useful mantra which could help. In fact that mantra can be applied to many other things in life, as he points out.

A Great Story With A Daring Escape From The Overeaters Club By Maggie Fred Schafer’s sprightly novella, Invitation To A Former Girlfriend’s Wedding, is a great read with a very sound moral. It is both fiction and nonfiction. The fictional part is quite humorous. And then there is Tony’s story, but it is mine too and most of the people I know who struggle with overweight. It took me thirty years to learn these lessons, it took Tony a full year, but the reader is in luck because this witty and readable story can be digested in an hour or two. Tony is a fat old guy who wants to look like Clint Eastwood when he shows up at the wedding of his former girlfriend. The only hitch is he is grossly overweight. What to do? First, it is necessary to understand what causes overeating, and this can be reduced to a simple memorable formula... which I won’t give away, of course. Tony learned too that the doctor can help, by adding some motivation. Who wants to take those expensive blood pressure and cholesterol pills that leave you unable to remember your telephone number? That aching back sends the same warning message. I would only add to Tony’s good advice that you need some exercise every day. Sit on a stationary bike as you read the newspaper, or walk a mile. This plus the food advice will strip away the pounds. But if you want to end up like Tony – again, something I can’t give away, it would spoil the story for you – you will have to faithfully follow the advice given in Fred Schafer’s novella, an advice that is not really all that different from what the author wrote in two of his other books which tell you HOW TO GET RICH BY CHANGING YOUR THOUGHT. Great read.

Always something extra By OneOfTheBrontes The reason I enjoy Fred Schäfer's writing so much is that he always manages to combine a great story with something extra, either useful information or some thought-provoking philosophy."Invitation to a Former Girlfriend's Wedding" is no different. It opens with Tony relating a story of how he receives something life changing--an invitation to a former girlfriend's wedding. Later he receives a photograph from her. She is stunning.He has twelve months to lose weight and improve himself before attending the wedding. How he achieves this is quite wonderful, but I won't give any secrets away.The third part of this novella deals with when he attends the wedding and the unexpected consequences of that event.This is a quick read, with images appearing from time to time--some humorous. Although I am a fast reader, I found myself slowing to make the most of what I was reading. That is always a good sign.Mr Schäfer has a fresh and original voice that always delights. I certainly look forward to reading more from this talented author.
