Reviews
"Bruce Ferber's prose is music to my ears. I Buried Paul is very funny, and very insightful."--John Densmore "Reading Bruce Ferber's latest novel is like being told a great tale from your favorite and funniest pal -- the one who really seems to know stuff--the one you trust--the one who gets you when nobody else does. Long live Paul."--Jason Alexander "Funny, deep, and compulsive, I Buried Paul is a tribute to family, lifelong friends, and the Beatles tunes that unite them. Told with Ferber's trademark wit, literary verve and big-heartedness, it's a veritable magical mystery tour of growing up and finding love and meaning in a complex world."--Michaela Carter, author of Leonora in the Morning Light First, the good news: Paul isn't dead, and this isn't an autopsy. Rather it's a funny, moving novel about trying to find your way home from the Abbey Road of your teenage fantasy life, while simultaneously escaping the shadows cast by your father, your older brother, many failed relationships, and a world that doesn't like to see people doing what they love - such as making their own music. Reminiscent of Anne Tyler and Richard Russo (if either could keep a steady bass beat), Bruce Ferber writes humorous fiction for grown ups.--Scott Bradfield, author of The History of Luminous Motion Funny, heartfelt, and unafraid... A book for anyone who loves music or has ever tried to keep a dream alive.--Ben Loory, author of Tales of Falling and Flying In his touching and funny novel, Bruce Ferber comes not to bury Paul McCartney but to celebrate his true believers, the dreamers who carry the torch of their youthful rock dreams well into pension age, and who refuse to sacrifice their passion despite high cholesterol counts and the possibility of embarrassing themselves. I Buried Paul is a tender paean to the music that changed us all, its revivifying and enduring power.--Marc Weingarten, author of The Gang that Wouldn't Write Straight: Wolfe, Thompson, Didion, Capote, and the New Journalism Revolution
