Author States His Novel Explores a Major Factor Why Poverty Rates Remain High and Middle Incomes Are Still Flat
Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) September 20, 2013 -- This week in the business section of the Los Angeles Times, an article ran entitled "U.S. poverty rate holds steady" and goes on to state, too, that middle incomes remained flat as well. The article's source was the Census Bureau.
In Richard Wanderer's fictional suspense novel, The Holiday Party (A Tale of a Corporate Party) http://www.theholidayparty-ataleofacorporatetakeover.com, a huge, for profit only, media conglomerate takes over a family-owned national magazine which was run in an employee-friendly manner. The conglomerate institutes a Draconian thrift regime and fires loyal employees of the takeover magazine for little or no cause (mostly because in the eyes of the takeover conglomerate they made too much money). Economic victims were people with families to support whose efforts had made the magazine a profitable enterprise. Despite the chaos and havoc the conglomerate causes to the magazine's employees, to look "politically correct" to the outside world, they change the name of the magazine's annual Christmas Party to the "Holiday Party". Thus, the title Richard Wanderer gave to his novel, The Holiday Party (A Tale of a Corporate Takeover). "Situations like this," author Wanderer states, "are reasons why the plight of America's working class is not improving."
Richard Wanderer's background for writing his fictional suspense novel about the takeover of a national magazine and what happens to the lives of its employees after the takeover is that he spent more than 50 years of his life working in the advertising sales departments of major national magazines and newspaper chains in NYC and LA. His characters and scenarios are an amalgamation of people and situations he has come in contact with through his personal experiences as well as a writer's imagination. Later in life, while working full time and raising a family, he also became a member of the California Bar.
