AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"[A]s bizarre and costly as the Barthelme's legal ordeal certainly was (past tense: All charges were dismissed...), this is no mere cautionary tale. It's a brutally candid, unflattering self-portrait of two successful middle-aged menwho managed, somehow, to sail through their adulthood behaving like 'overage children.'...DOUBLE DOWN is...an unsentimental, even edgy meditation on the loss of one's parents and the often crazy-making trauma of being orphaned in midlife."Barthelme, Frederick is the author of 'Double Down Reflections on Gambling and Loss' with ISBN 9780395954294 and ISBN 0395954290.
