Praise for Elevating Overman

“Before Overman learned to walk, he learned his limits. Enduring sure-targeted bias reinforced by genetic fiat, Overman is doomed. He can only claw from destiny once he is visited by the sins of an entire people. This remarkable achievement is the seminal victory within Bruce Ferber’s brutally funny, Elevating Overman. 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,

Los Angeles 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 Overman is funny, sad, and very, very engaging.”

—Charlie Hauck, author, Artistic Differences,

creator, seven network TV series,

New York Times Contributor

“If Woody Allen, SJ Perelman, and Phillip 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, writer/producer

of a ridiculous amount of TV comedies,

widely popular playwright,

and author of “You’ve Got Hate Mail”
