Latest A-Tracks-tion

Over the past few years, Tracks: A Novel in Stories has received a good number of positive reviews and endorsements. The latest review featured on Amazon and Goodreads comes from someone after a second reading of the book!

 

Poet and author Shirley J. Brewer had this to say.

 

“Goodman's novel-in-stories captivated me, not once but twice! And I found the second reading even richer, as I delved into the lives of passengers on a train traveling from Baltimore to Chicago. Goodman skillfully weaves his stories into a seamless "track" - not a sleeper in the bunch! He allows us to see his characters in numerous stories - sometimes as features, other times as accessories.

“The author takes us on a journey beyond the faces and facades of passengers, revealing their inner doubts and hopes. I found myself caring deeply for these fictional characters, empathizing with their dramas and dreams. As the hit man, Charlie, concludes: "So many people going in the same direction, yet all headed for different places."

DC Examiner: Tracks is … a Journey

The DC Examiner has published a review of Tracks: “Riding the rails with Tracks by Eric D. Goodman.”



The review describes the book as “a collection of short stories tied together by the train on which they ride ...” It adds, “However, that is not all that ties these stories together; it is the people themselves and their transformations.


“…the stories exude local culture and nuances that only a local writer could bring to life. Whether the characters are running away from their lives in Baltimore or eager to get back to them, the protagonists in each story are seeking change and the rails is the best way to examine their lives and find solutions to their problems.

“Goodman has created a novel in stories about the everyman that will reach into the reader's core and transport them inward to examine his/her own life more closely. Tracks is a novel and short stories, but much more than that, it is a journey.”
