Synopsis

As senior citizens go, Teddy Greenwald might be described as a former class clown with life experience. Ray Starck is only slightly more serious – sort of like the one kid in a mischievous group who somehow never gets caught. Their friendship has endured through more than a dozen Presidents, marriages, careers, innumerable bottomless cups of coffee and, not least, one another.

With so much shared history, the pair carries with them a vast treasure trove of memories. Some are great fun to dust off and reminisce about every once in a while. A few of those memories, though, are secretly happier kept well below the surface.

When an old school friend decides to make a movie based on their lives, however, Ray and, especially Teddy, are forced to look back on themselves in vivid Technicolor. They find that facing your own life – past, present, and diminishing future – in one sitting can be considerably more challenging than it appears on the silver screen.
In the spirit of A Man Called Ove, Joel Bresler’s charmingly funny novel is a series of journeys between present and past, with characters who are amusing yet recognizable. They still have a taste for adventure, as long as it doesn’t require too much bending.

About this title

About the Author

Joel Bresler was born and spent most of his life to date in and around Cleveland, Ohio. After earning a degree from Skidmore College, he worked briefly in social services before entering into a niche field of business consulting. His first published work, LETTERS TO BE READ IN A HEAVILY BRITISH ACCENT, established him as a humor writer with a unique voice. LETTERS was quickly followed up by SUNERWYNDE REVISITED, SSUNERWYNDE REVISITED, AGAIN, and the Foreword Reviews Indie Award-winning THE MOSCOWITZ CODE. His latest, BOTTOMLESS CUPS, was released February 27,2020. In the tradition of such heavyweights as P.G. Wodehouse, Evelyn Waugh, and Douglas Adams, Bresler holds his own writing to a very high comedic standard. Which is not to imply that he is above throwing in any moderately interesting pun that might find its way from pen to paper. He can lately be found deep in the desert Southwest, dodging snakes and cactus spines and "dry" heat.
