You don't have to be a fan of the place to love this book. Once the narrator, beautiful loser Murray "Cheese" Marks, took me hostage (which he did on the first page), I found myself riding the story like it was Kali River Rapids in the Animal Kingdom. The images are indelible, and "Cheese" is especially memorable. He clings to you long after you've read (and reread) the bracing finale." -JANET CAPRON, author of Blue Money https://www.danielrobertsauthor.com/bio daily 0.75 2024-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616fffe561e4f47d1c1fedc8/84c95187-bcbc-4e12-b58b-3e0a40a68eaa/DanielRoberts.jpg About - Daniel Roberts’s debut novel Bar Maid was a USA TODAY best seller which the Kirkus Review called "An archly comic love story with notes of farce and fable. Roberts' old-school, slightly surreal humor has a dash of Barthelme or Perelman.” Prior to becoming an author, he wrote plays: “Haunted House” which The New York Times called “Sparklingly original with characters that stick;” and “Brando” of which Time Out New York wrote “An impressive piece of writing recalling Edward Albee or John Guare.” Vocationally, Roberts works as a private investor and venture capitalist in New York City where he lives with his young daughter. https://www.danielrobertsauthor.com/works daily 0.75 2025-05-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616fffe561e4f47d1c1fedc8/3267cd20-7a8f-4f43-b130-10067350c1b4/Ponder+Cvr2.jpeg Works - Ponder Ponder will be Daniel Roberts’s second novel launching in 2023. A boozy love triangle set against the backdrop of Walt Disney World in the waning moments of 1999, best friends, Disney-obsessed and rakish John Apple, and Falstaffian, alcohol-obsessed Murray Marks, fall for the very same extraordinary young woman, the formidable southern belle, Virginia Wells. This dark comedy told from the perspective of Murray Camembert “Cheese” Marks explores the underbelly of the world’s most popular tourist destination and the darkest moments of a collective romantic soul. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616fffe561e4f47d1c1fedc8/4fec407f-2957-4f60-98a2-465b60956cd4/Bar-Maid-Daniel-Roberts.jpg Works - Available Now A sparkingly witty, poignant debut novel that is a Bright Lights, Big City for a post-Reagan, pre-Y2K Philadelphia https://www.danielrobertsauthor.com/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2021-11-02 https://www.danielrobertsauthor.com/terms-of-use daily 0.75 2021-11-02 https://www.danielrobertsauthor.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-04-04 https://www.danielrobertsauthor.com/press daily 0.75 2025-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/616fffe561e4f47d1c1fedc8/46367fff-1c27-482e-b1f0-8b5c39f58af1/Bestseller+Badge.png
