Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Lucky Man is a quintessentially American tale about friendship, growing-up, moving-on, and whether or not it takes luck to do so. It is also about sex, drugs, death, and road trips, not to mention the profound insights provided by the Twilight Zone, the Grateful Dead, and The Greatest American Hero.

“Lucky Man”, Ben Tanzer’s first novel, is about four friends from their last days in high school to after college. Each of the four boys gives his first account narritive as their lives unfold through adolescence to adulthood.

Each family has varying degrees of dysfunctional behavior; but commonly, all four lack a healthy relationship with their father. Gabe, somewhat the leader, has a father he can’t connect with. Jake, the rebel, is bullied by his father. Sammy’s father can’t seem to live at home and rents a place by himself. Louis’s dad tries to connect, but outside of Jesus, he can’t seem to hold a conversation.

This coming of age story will touch your heart with laughter and tears. Ben Tanzer is a magnificent writer with a clear understanding of what teenagers face growing up.
