Glimpses has no hidden agenda, just enjoyable
Glimpses From The Edge was simple enjoyable. I won't go so far as to say it was astounding or groundbreaking, because it wasn't. It was pure, unadulterated freeflowing thinking from the author as he reflects some of the personal, little moments in his life as well as some of the world stopping moments we all have shared. The end result is a warm, funny, touching memoir about his life that I would recommend to everyone, young and old.

Glimpses Digs Up Important Memories
Glimpses From The Edge brought back many long lost memories of my own upbringing, even though I didn't grow up in New Jersey. Some of Dan Bruder's experience with racial tensions, VietNam, the Cold War, Springsteen, touch close to my heart. The fact that these short stories are written firsthand makes them believable, credible chronicles of events that I can relate to. I enjoyed this book.

Glimpses Is Bruder's Legacy
Glimpses From The Edge is a collection of true, autobiographical short stories that reveal the humor, heartache, near misses and personal achievements as the author, Dan Bruder, journeys up the bumpy roads on the mountain of life. The two-dozen tales visit his life in suburban New Jersey in the second half of the 20th century, where his view of the world was molded by his adoption, the Cold War, race riots, Vietnam, drugs and alcohol, the music business, cancer, violence, marriage and lots of tumultuous adventures. The stories also chronicle Bruder's encounters with everyone from celebrities, criminals, dirt-poor farmers, political radicals, friends, lovers, his family members and his heroes. Bruder generously divulges many personal inner perceptions that he gleaned from these individuals and experiences.
