A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Anchor Stevens grew up on the east coast of the USA. All life long, he has been a practicing artist and graphic design professional. PIPEDREAM: Life at Middle Age™ is the 2009 book-length award winner of the Eaton Literary Agency's Annual Award Program. PIPEDREAM chronicles one man's experience in shutting down his company and then losing a handful of jobs before running out of money at a time in life when new, professional opportunity is hard to find--and other challenges arrive, uninvited and without warning. Chief among these is the urgent need to 'save for retirement.' The fact that 'millions of people are in this guy's boat,' is of little solace or consequence. What is a man to do?

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Name: Pipedream, Life at Middle Age At middle-age, you blow it. You blow everything. What happens when you lose a job? Several jobs? At the loss of his own company followed by four jobs in ten years, this book chronicles Jimbo's experience with the unthinkable; no more dough. In addition, he runs into the horror of 9.11.01, then into age discrimination, then the collapse of the economy, and most importantly, the reality of his own accumulated failures. His successes matter little, now. His lifetime of grandiose notions-- among them, that everything will work out for the best-- is put to a serious test. Thru massive loss and disillusionment, follow Jimbo on his tumultuous journey.
