Rollicking Ride … Witty, Confidential Style

Charles Rammelkamp is the author of The Secretkeepers, Castleman in the Academy, and is editor of The Potomac, a literary journal.

He also happens to be a fan of Tracks: A Novel in Stories. Here’s what he has to say about it.

“Get on board Eric D. Goodman’s Tracks for a rollicking ride from Baltimore to Chicago with a passenger list of colorful characters, from a sleazy traveling salesman, an adulterous sculptress and a Holocaust survivor to a couple of kids in love, a woman returning home to Cincinnati from burying her parents in Baltimore, and a poet. Told in Goodman’s witty, confidential style, these stories – this long tale – are well worth the price of the ticket!”
