Synopsis
Torday is a singular American writer with a big heart and a real love for the world. He has the rare gift for writing dynamic action scenes while being genuinely funny. --George Saunders Bluegrass musician, former journalist and editor, and now PhD in English, Mark Brumfeld has arrived at his thirties with significant debt and no steady prospects. His girlfriend Cassie--a punk bassist in an all-female band, who fled her Midwestern childhood for a new identity--finds work at a "new media" company. When Cassie refuses his marriage proposal, Mark leaves New York and returns to the basement of his childhood home in the Baltimore suburbs. Desperate and humiliated, Mark begins to post a series of online video monologues that critique Baby Boomers and their powerful hold on the job market. But as his videos go viral, and while Cassie starts to build her career, Mark loses control of what he began--with consequences that ensnare them in a matter of national security. Told through the perspectives of Mark, Cassie, and Mark's mother, Julia, a child of the '60s whose life is more conventional than she ever imagined, Boomer1 is timely, suspenseful, and in every line alert to the siren song of endless opportunity that beckons and beguiles all of us., "Torday is a singular American writer with a big heart and a real love for the world. He has the rare gift for writing dynamic action scenes while being genuinely funny." --George Saunders Bluegrass musician, former journalist and editor, and now PhD in English, Mark Brumfeld has arrived at his thirties with significant debt and no steady prospects. His girlfriend Cassie--a punk bassist in an all-female band, who fled her Midwestern childhood for a new identity--finds work at a "new media" company. When Cassie refuses his marriage proposal, Mark leaves New York and returns to the basement of his childhood home in the Baltimore suburbs. Desperate and humiliated, Mark begins to post a series of online video monologues that critique Baby Boomers and their powerful hold on the job market. But as his videos go viral, and while Cassie starts to build her career, Mark loses control of what he began--with consequences that ensnare them in a matter of national security. Told through the perspectives of Mark, Cassie, and Mark's mother, Julia, a child of the '60s whose life is more conventional than she ever imagined, Boomer1 is timely, suspenseful, and in every line alert to the siren song of endless opportunity that beckons and beguiles all of us.

The small package spent 13 of those days in GA. before leaving the state. Communication from the seller was unhelpful to say the least, pushed the responsibility off on the shipper and seemed to wipe his hands of it. Could have been a bad lable issue. Customer service was surely lacking on this sale.Risposta di: metalhead39- Feedback con risposta del venditore metalhead39.- Feedback con risposta del venditore metalhead39.Buyer is RUDE, IGNORANT, & CHILDISH. He claims to be a seller but apparently has never encountered a delay outside of his control due to the USPS. Had the audacity to tell me I should have used a different courier. He obviously can see the tracking and tell it was processed within one business day per my policy but chose to be a RUDE instead. Item was obviously held up at hub in Atlanta. Avoid this INSUFFERABLE MIDWIT as both a buyer and a seller.Berkley Fireline Thermally Fused Fishing Line 125 yards Smoke Color 20lb Test (N° 156627967991)
