		<description><![CDATA[Michael A. Newman (New York) This review is from: Elevating Overman: a novel (Paperback) This is one of those books that you pick up and don’t want it to end. Ira Overman had lived his life as a loser, mostly because he believed himself to be a loser. That realization was ingrained in him from his parents and enforced by an incident that happened to him when he was a teenager.Overman decides to go for Lasik surgery to correct his vision. After the surgery, Overman’s increased vision causes him to look at the world and himself in a whole new light. This instills a new confidence in him and then all of a sudden possible “powers” start to emerge where he is able to get women to be attracted to him and get traffic on the freeway to clear out of his way.Overman can now easily beat in tennis, his friend/nemesis Rosenfarb, who previously used to thrash Overman every time they played. Overman confesses to Rosenfarb that something has changed within him letting him do things he never could do before and proves to Rosenfarb that he can do these things. Rosenfarb immediately believes Overman to have “super powers” and [...]]]></description>

Blog: http://bruceferber.net/blog/ Website: http://bruceferber.net Interview: questions by Aspen, answers by Bruce Elevating Overman is your debut novel, but you have been involved in producing and writing for television sit-coms prior to this.  Would you tell us a little bit about your background as a writer and what it&#8217;s like writing for television? (PS I was a big fan of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch). &#8211; I had always thought I&#8217;d be a feature film writer, but you learn very early on to go where the opportunity takes you, and my first assignment was writing for a show called &#8220;Bosom Buddies&#8221; starring Peter Scolari and some guy named Tom Hanks.

		<description><![CDATA[Monday, September 3, 2012 Elevating Overman [by Bruce Ferber] &#8211; Review Synopsis as written on the back of 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 as written by Aspen Thanks to the unexpected effects from an ordinary surgery, Ira Overman gets a second chance at life, discovering &#8220;powers&#8221; within himself that he never knew he had.  It has a well executed plot, is well [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ELEVATING OVERMAN REVIEW Bruce Ferber&#8217;s protagonist, Ira Overman in his debut novel Elevating Overman could be succinctly described as a “nebbish,” which is the Yiddish expression for someone who is dismissed by many as ineffectual, luckless, timid, bumbling and pitifully ineffectual. A character we could associate with Woody Allen or George Costanza of the Seinfeld television series, and incidentally either one would be perfect for the role of Overman, if the novel were ever to be adapted as a movie. Overman was not always a “nebbish,” as he graduated from Columbia University with honors and initially was successfully employed as an entertainment executive for the studios, as well as positions with various management firms and talent agencies. Unfortunately, his talents were no longer needed and he is forced to accept a job as a car salesman with Steinbaum Mercedes of Calabasas, California.-a job he hates. He is also going through a mid-life crisis, and family wise he is divorced while his two children have abandoned him, blaming him for being a terrible father. His ex-wife, who remarried a sleazy doctor, is constantly putting him down. Not a pretty picture. When Overman discovers a discount coupon in the Pennysaver for Life-Changing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, people have been asking me: &#8220;How do you make the transition from TV comedy to writing novels?   Well, I&#8217;ve spent some time time thinking about this, and devised what I believe to be a no-nonsense 10-Step Program.   Not only is it foolproof &#8212; I&#8217;ve saved you two steps!  Now get to work. 1. WATCH A MARATHON OF “WHITNEY” AND “TWO BROKE GIRLS” In no time, you’ll be reaching for a copy of “Moby Dick” as your affinity for sitcoms evaporates into thin air. 2. EMBRACE YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND: PROSE In your spec sitcom script, Whitney enters and tells a lame joke.  In your novel, you can let us know everything going on in Whitney’s head that drove her to say something that lame. 3. FREE YOURSELF TO WRITE INTERESTING LANGUAGE One of the new sitcoms that will air this coming season berates a character for using the words “rife” and “vibrant.”  As a novelist, you will be permitted to employ these adjectives in addition to time-honored favorites like  “endemic” and “ubiquitous.” 4. FREE YOURSELF TO WRITE CRUDE LANGUAGE FOR INTERESTING PURPOSES In your sitcom script, you gratuitously mention sex organs as punchlines.  In your novel, you can [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[R.I.P. We hear endless chatter about how social media has changed the world, but there&#8217;s one aspect of this phenomenon that nobody&#8217;s talking about. Used to be you&#8217;d have to open the newspaper or turn on the news to find out that one of society&#8217;s luminaries had passed on, but nowadays all you need to do is look at your phone to learn that one of your Facebook friends is deep in mourning over the death of a recurring actor she used to watch on Petticoat Junction. Social media has turned everyone into an obit writer. I, myself, waxed wistfully over the passings of Levon Helm and Doc Watson, as did many others. Afterward, I felt guilty about it. Why? Because thanks to Facebook, there&#8217;s just a glut of wistful waxing.    From obscure 80&#8242;s rock bassists to politicians who spent their entire careers in the pockets of lobbyists, all of them &#8220;will be deeply missed.&#8221; Now don&#8217;t get me wrong &#8211;I have nothing against honoring the dead.  I just think there&#8217;s a difference between memorializing people we knew or the artists who truly moved us, and simply being the first to announce the celebrity death du jour.  But the rabid RIP-ers [...]]]></description>
