A Long Swim Upstream

National radio host Mike Feder's stories span across geography and demographic to speak to a broader audience. His stories, spanning a time period from the 1950s to the 1980s, reveal the wit and depth of Feder as a writer and as a human being.

Praise for A Long Swim Upstream: "In his collection of short stories, author Mike Feder shares the often dark but also often surprisingly humorous stories revealing the light in even the darkest moment...You know you're in for some dark humor from the moment that Feder opens the book with, 'By the time I was fifteen, I suffered from a host of psychosomatic conditions,' and later adds: 'A lot of Jewish boys who were too close to their mothers are familiar with this condition.'"--IndieReader

Praise for The Talking Cure: “Feder's new book shoehorns the stream-of-experience confessional into the lyrical novel form pioneered by Henry Miller.”--Publisher’s Weekly

Praise for New York Son: “Reading these monologues/stories by Mike Feder is like being stuck between stations on the subway with an insane--and possibly dangerous--individual who turns out to be not only funny, likable, and intelligent, but eager to turn himself inside-out for your entertainment.”--Kirkus Reviews
