Review:
"The funniest serious novel since Richard Russo's STRAIGHT MAN, rich with the epic levity of John Irving and salted with the perversion of Updike." -Chicago Sun-Times "The rollicking story of a writer whose piece of the American Dream falls apart." -Chicago Tribune "This critically insightful diatribe against conformity is recommended." -Library Journal "William Elliott Hazelgrove's Rocket Man is a brilliant piece of writing, a work that meticulously dissects contemporary life in America with such a keen eye that the author is able to catch at least passing glances at us all." -Grady Harp, Top Amazon Reviewer
