"Ron Fried has written a post 9/11 classic of ironic self-awareness. Cool. Tantilizing and insightful."

"The author packs a lot of insight into this slim, gracefully written book. Here, the 9/11 context is crucial to the hero's personal dilemma, adding an extra layer of meaning to our universal grapling with questions of self and society."
