New York Son - Softcover
11 tales of urban angst may appeal to his devoted fans, -- In sundry episodes, Feder's mother, a bundle of psychosomatic complaints, commits suicide; his tough-guy father takes him fishing; he flips out - gets admitted to a mental hospital; his girlfriend dumps him; he almost has an affair with a listener; his wife retches on their honeymoon in Antigua. Such adventures may play well on radio, but divorced from that medium's instant intimacy, pregnant pauses and colloquial rhythms, free-form ruminations on growing up, neurosis - sexual frustration ..& incidents drawn from his experiences Mike Feder grew up in New York City. He has worked as a social worker, parole officer, welfare agent, clerk in a crooked employment agency, radio station manager, used bookstore owner, screenwriter (collaborating with Gene Wilder), & landlord. His writing has appeared in "Harper's", among other places.
