Summary

Joe, a 36-year-old advertising copywriter for a slick New York company, feels disillusioned with his life. He starts dreaming of a mysterious man, seeing him on the street and hearing his voice.

Joe decides to listen to 'the Man', and so he waits on his stoop, day and night, for instructions. Waiting for the Man is a compelling and visceral story about the struggle to find something more in life.

Critic reviews

"Waiting for the Man hides a chilling truth under its light-hearted surface: the American Dream is a trap." ( Quill & Quire)
