Críticas

In his witty memoir, Reflections in a Mirror: Of Love, Loss, Death and Divorce. . . Mr. Felder channels Neil Simon, recalling a childhood in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, (and visiting his grandparents in Brighton Beach). Then he segues into a career representing clients ranging from the former Miss America Bess Myerson's lover (though not against her) to Rudolph W. Giuliani (about whom he reveals very little). . .Mr. Felder's mirror is convex; he appears approachable but even larger than life. And while many of his insights and anecdotes of celebrity misbehavior might sound familiar to regular readers of Page Six in The New York Post, he strings them together into a chatty and irreverent narrative.--Sam Roberts "The New York Times "

Witty, Chatty, Irreverent.--The New York Times

Entertaining. Engaging. Mr. Felder knows how to tell a story.--The Wall Street Journal

A MEMOIR comes from a prominent lawyer, but isn't a book about law. It's a lovely memoir of the lives of two brothers--one a famous lawyer, the other a famous songwriter--and provides a personal count of growing up in Brooklyn as the younger brother of Doc Pomus, who become a popular songwriter despite his struggles with polio. It's an account of family ties, the evolution of a lawyer, and childhood and coming of age in pre-war America and post-war Europe.

Reseña del editor
