Event, The
Donald Silverman
Albert Townsend leads a boring life. His wife walks all over him, he has a boring job at his mother-in-law's boutique, and he rarely speaks to his grown children. But while his acquiescence may be construed as simplicity and compliance, he is anything but. Albert is a murderer.
In flashbacks, Albert's four horrendous years at an all-boys boarding school are revealed in all their glory, which includes a roommate named David, who pushes quiet Albert over the edge--and himself six feet under. And while The Event is not a mystery, the ending will surprise you.
Review: "The Event is a darkly comedic meditation on the bubbling anger that lies just below the surface in the millions of people living the lives of quiet desperation in our retail industry."
Colin Quinn, Actor, Comedian, Performer
"The Event hauntingly reminds us of the volatility and rage that simmers just below the humdrum of everyday life. Donald Silverman's novel gently and cleverly propels the reader into the mind of a murderer who could be any one of us."
Yosef I. Abramowitz, Author Beyond Scandal
Bio: DONALD SILVERMAN divides his time between New Hampshire and Florida.
