MAN OVERBOARD-Praised by newspaper as “darkly funny”

MAN OVERBOARD by Burl Barer

“Barer pulls no punches in his telling of the story,” writes Frank Girodot, the senior editor of the San Gabriel Valley News Group, “which begins humorously enough:

“Phil Champagne died Aug. 31, 1982, in a tragic boating accident off Lopez Island, Washington. He was 52. Champagne was survived by his wife of 28 years, four grown children, an octogenarian mother and two despondent brothers. Phil didn’t know he was dead until he read it in the paper. All things considered, he took it pretty well.”
