Review Quotes: Praise for "The Life and Times of Homer Sincere Whose Amazing Adventures are Documented by his True and Trusted Friend Rigby Canfield"
"This is a wonderful epic tale of a soldier of the world making his way from New Orleans to the realms of magazine publishing and the great era of Hollywood Studios. It captures the spirit of a great time in America. Nathaniel Lande, a valued veteran of the golden years at Time/Life, is the perfect person to bring us the endearing and amazing adventures of Homer Sincere."
--Walter Isaacson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of "Benjamin Franklin: An American Life and Einstein: His Life and Universe"
"Nathaniel Lande''s novel is rich with nostalgia, compassion and humor. The saga of Rigby and Homer is beautifully told, full of rich details you will not soon forget. You will finish this special tale satisfied, but wanting more. There is a symmetry here: a story about movies that would make a good movie."
--Selden Edwards, New York Times bestselling author of "The Little Book"
"I have just had a remarkable journey across a landscape of time, place, and emotion. In other words, I just finished reading Nathaniel Lande''s remarkable novel about one Homer Sincere. Part "Forrest Gump," part "Rocket Boys," and part "Adventures in the Screen Trade," this is the story of an America that used to be or at least should have been... an instant classic!" --Homer Hickam, New York Times bestselling author of "Rocket Boys" and "October Sky"
