               IRV'S ISSUES

I've just graduated college.  How do I find a job?  Where I actually get paid.
I've been told I'm a nice guy.  Will I ever meet a nice girl?  Who's nice to me?
There's no certainty anywhere!  Will I ever stop worrying?  While alive?
NOTHING is going as planned!  How can I gain control?  Of anything!  Like, maybe me.
I will not lie, cheat, steal, or regularly wash my car.  Can I compete?  Without finishing last?
I really need to know.  Does God exist?  On the day you're fired?

What is Irv's saga about?

Does it deal with those issues above?  Sure, but in thoughtful ways that explore the reasons of why we do what we do and have become who we are.

Is Irv's Odyssey about Irving Podolsky?  Not really.  It's actually about YOU.  And how to deal with the life's hassles, big and small, 'cause there's a little bit of Irv in all of us.  We all want to matter, be loved, find contentment, and keep working at something we love to do.  And we don't want to grow old or feel threatened or be lonely.  That's what these stories are about - getting through the day and knowing it was all worth it.  And most importantly, discovering the humor in our lives and staying happy
!


So to make you happy NOW,
I'm offering book one to you at NO cost.  Yep.  "Lost in a Looking Glass" is my gift, when you read it on this site.  An eReader version will soon be available through on-line book sites as well.  And, if you really love it, there are hard copies from internet outlets such as Amazon, B&N, Books-A-Million and Google Books.  Just click on the book covers.

And then there's my weblog,
IrvingsJourney.com.  I wanna find out what's in your heads.  I really do.  'Cause swapping ideas is the best fun of all, and the way I learn.  And maybe I can help you too.  I'm super interested to know what's going on in the world outside Irv's Odyssey.  You are my open doors.  And I'm yours.  Let's talk.  'Cause the journey never ends, and we're all on it together.
WHAT IRV'S READERS
ARE SAYING ABOUT THE BOOKS
"Irv's Odyssey was like reading letters from a dear old friend.  I didn't want it to end."
Lorraine Saenz
"It’s forceful, funny, and has the ring of truth.  I looked forward to getting back to it each night, and that’s a great sign that the book is ALIVE."

aniel Asa Rose
"I was pulled in right from the start.  And my mind kept going back to it throughout the day, the way it does when I'm reading a really good book and I'm eager to find out what happens."
Carla Saulle
"I absolutely loved the odyssey.  I thought it was a good mix of humor and serious points about life.  But it scares me a little.  I hope my life after college isn't THAT crazy.  Still, I can definitely relate to Irv."
Joel Schreiber
"I am ready for whatever world you have in store next.  It's so authentic and sincere, and palpable.  You really take the reader to all your Theres."
Bridget Hoffman
"The ending was so wonderful and heartfelt.  I honestly became weepy.  Congratulations.  What an accomplishment."
Steve Alterman
"This story is addictive!"
Sheryl Nadler
"I'm in a book club and I scan the novels which are suggested to me.  But I can't scan yours because there are so many ideas to think about.  I want my daughter to read this!"
Marsha Bohr
"The stories were so real to me I felt I had written the books myself.  Thank you so much for the experience!"
Alejandra Easton
"You are the first author who's work I've read past page 100 in as long as I can remember.  It's a great read, bringing smiles, contemplated moments and memories of my own.  Way to Go!"
Les Oreck
"I have just finished your third book and I am crying.  So moving. So good.  I have been living in this story since I started it.  And right now, I want to be quiet and just enjoy what I have been given."
