About the Book

This hilarious and painful novel of redemption follows the journey of Ira Overman, veteran of multiple botched careers and a singularly botched marriage, as he makes one last attempt to rise above the guilt, weakness, and self-hatred that have been hard-wired into his soul since birth. Through an unlikely side effect from an otherwise routine surgery, Overman finds himself revisiting and confronting the uniformly poor choices of his past, and making sense of a world he has never known how to negotiate. The ex-New Yorker and transplanted Angeleno decides to bestow his newfound gifts from coast to coast, earning unprecedented respect from his son and daughter, and the ferocious envy of his best friend. Ultimately, Elevating Overman speaks to us about righting some of our wrongs, letting others go, and most importantly, gaining a small yet significant insight into a life that matters.

Review :
Bruce Ferber is an Emmy-nominated writer, and his talent shines in his first novel. Elevating Overman is a brilliantly written novel with a cast of full-bodied characters that are so ridiculous, they come across as truly authentic. -- San Francisco Book Review ...Frailty abounds in this searing examination of our lesser selves. With hints of Philip Roth, the cultural byplay will bring out the self-hatred in us all - and turn it on its head.Elevating Overman deserves a place in the Jewish-American canon. --Roy Teicher, former Tonight Show writer, LA Times columnist. Ira Overman knew his world was narrow and petty, but after a dramatic Lasik surgery, he sensed "it was about to become narrow and petty in bold new ways." It's well worth going along with him for the ride.Elevating Overmanis funny, sad, and very, very engaging. -- Charlie Hauck, author, Artistic Differences. "If Woody Allen, SJ Perelman, and Philip Roth had a son...that son and his three fathers would love this book! A great read! Outrageous, funny, sad, and wildly original!" --Billy Van Zandt, TV writer-producer, playwright "Bruce Ferber has come out of the gate with balls...Loaded with laughs, Elevating Overman makes you read late into the night when you have a court appearance the next morning...funny, sexy, and utterly original." --Dwight Slade, standup comedian, Winner Boston Comedy Festival
