A Calling for Charlie Barnes

Joshua Ferris

An exploration of a sixty-eight-year-old small-business owner's life and his reckoning with his past decisions. The story is told from the perspective of his son, Jake, who questions his father's unsuccessful marriages and fleeting business ideas. Joshua Ferris's latest novel is a brutally funny but tender portrayal of an American dream lost.

A CALLING FOR CHARLIE BARNES, by Joshua Ferris: This is a fine American novel about family, love, and a decent but flawed man trying to be better. In dark times like these, I can’t recommend this book too highly. It’s strong.      source
