"Adam Langer's new novel, "Ellington Boulevard," captures all of Manhattan's quirky insanity with great style and a huge amount of fun."
--Barbara Corcoran
"Adam Langer took me on a wonderful trip all over the Upper West Side of Manhattan. The reader will meet musicians, actors, and even a dog named Herbie Mann--open the cover, read, and enjoy! This is his best book yet."
--Eli Wallach
"Adam Langer, who is either a genius or a schizophrenic, inhabits his characters--from a pregnant woman to a pigeon--with brilliant stealth and lovable insouciance. Finally a book has come along that has gotten me excited about reading and even New York again."
--Jennifer Belle, author of "High Maintenance" and "Little Stalker
"
"I laughed out loud throughout this simultaneously cynical and sentimental New York fairy tale with a love for off-Broadway musicals and the seventeen-key clarinet, and a profound understanding of the importance ofdogs."
--Stephen Schwartz, Academy Award-winning lyricist and composer for "Wicked," "Godspell," "Pippin," and "The Prince of Egypt"
Praise for "Ellington Boulevard"
"I loved this book, but then I've always been a sucker for quality. Adam Langer lifts the lid off the top of New York City and lets us see, close up, and terribly personally, the cosmopolitan complexity of the city that never sleeps alone. In his fuguelike charting of their lives--lives that cross, lives that double-cross--he reveals his love of all things New York: its people, its dogs, and, even more remarkably, its pigeons. The composition and orchestration that Mr. Langer has gifted us with would have delighted the Duke himself."
--Larry Gelbart, creator of "M*A*S*H", co-screenwriter of "Tootsie", and Tony Award-winning author of "City of Angels" and "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum"
