"Fans of Matthew Norman and Jonathan Tropper will enjoy this immersive and heart-opening novel.”

—Booklist



"Bahar wields biting humor like a sword, skewering everything from the trials and tribulations of growing up to rock ’n’ roll and the expectations of parents and peers.”

—Kirkus Reviews



“In this funny, fresh, heartwarming debut novel, Bahar takes us back to a formative time and place, the late ’70s, early ’80s, when the sound of possibility was coming through the speakers of every dashboard, and introduces us to Ron, our hapless, earnest, lovelorn hero, struggling to come of age against the pressures to honor his Jewish heritage—in the Midwest.”

—Nicola Kraus, best-selling coauthor of The Nanny Diaries



“A humorous, smart, and engaging portrait of one boy’s coming of age in 1980s Nebraska, The Frontman takes the reader on a rollicking rollercoaster of teenage ups and downs, with all the thrills, fears, ecstasies, and agonies that entails. You’ll ride along with Ron as he tries to balance the hopes and wishes of his immigrant parents against his own—all the while rooting for him to finally make it work with the girl of his dreams.”

—Josh Reims, television writer and executive producer of ABC’s Mistresses



“In the tradition of Philip Roth's Portnoy's Complaint, The Frontman is a fresh, musical look at faith, family and fidelity through the lens of a first generation Jewish protagonist. Ron Bahar's debut novel is hilariously funny and gut-wrenchingly emotional (you'll have to read the book to understand that)."

—Ed Decter, screenwriter of There's Something About Mary



“Imagine being the only Jewish high schooler in Lincoln, Nebraska.  In Ron Bahar’s semi-autobiographical debut novel, he shares his unconventional coming of age story and the result is a delightful mix of heart, wit, and hilarious insights. Growing up in a culture of rules and order, we are quickly engrossed in Ron trying to manage the expectations of his parents while being true to himself, and in the process, discovers who he really is and what he really wants.  It’s a celebration of family relations, the healing power of music, and identity.”

—Holly Bario, President of Production, DreamWorks Studios



“No one makes me laugh the way Ron Bahar does—it’s been happening since we were writing sketches together in junior high school and continues to this day. Ron has this uniquely intelligent, honest, hilarious take on life that I’ve always admired and tried to emulate. He’s got a way of finding the funny while making himself vulnerable which makes you laugh and care at the same time. That rare combination of heart and hilarity is executed masterfully in his writing of The Frontman, an honest and, at times, heartbreaking look at the time in our lives when we’re trying to figure out who we are and what we stand for.”

—Mark Gross, comedian, writer/producer, CBS television

A Novel

The Frontman

"There are two characters at the heart of Peter Plate's&#160;With Death Laughing. One is a just-sprung ex con turned bell-ringing street priest. The other is an elusive&#160;halfway house diva named Sugar Child who is forever jacked up on psyche meds. We are at first tempted to write them off as a pair of losers. But as Plate takes them through the slow--motion train wreck of their struggle to live, to love, to aspire, to matter, in a world too otherwise occupied to care, he ultimately reveals their humanity.&#160;With Death Laughing&#160;is&#160;a crime novel in which writing anyone off is, in itself, the crime."&#160;&mdash;Lee&#160;Stringer, author of&#160;Grand&#160;Central&#160;Winter,&#160;Sleepaway School&#160;and, with Kurt Vonnegut,&#160;Like Shaking Hands with God &ldquo;Like a nightstick upside your skull, Peter Plate&rsquo;s prose makes the stars explode behind your eyes&#160;with his deft street&#160;corner&#160;delivery.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Gary Phillips,&#160;The Be-Bop Barbarians &ldquo;Plate is to San Francisco what Hubert Selby Jr. is to New York: a gritty, honest speaker for the grimy masses.&rdquo; &mdash;Willamette Week &ldquo;[Peter Plate&rsquo;s] San Francisco is a fiery hell, where the devil rids in a squad car, and God doesn&rsquo;t deign to put in an appearance.&rdquo; &mdash;San Francisco Chronicle

"Peterson . . . weaves a lush novel full of cryptic scenes divided into 'before' chapters showing Piper's life in the cult and 'after,' when she is set free, which readers fit together for a thrilling ending. The novel presents an accessible look at what makes cults (especially religious ones) attractive to some, and it will appeal to those interested in subjects such as Charles Manson and the Branch Davidians. . . . An intriguing look at a young woman adjusting to life outside a cult."&mdash;Kirkus Reviews&#160;  "Readers follow Piper through the difficult maze of her own mind in trying to sort out what's real from what she is imagining. Her struggle with her mental health rings true. . . . a sound addition to any collection where reality and suspense are in demand."&mdash;School Library Journal  "Entirely gripping and absorbing, with an absolutely convincing voice. I had to keep reading until the very last page."&mdash;Lucy Christopher, Printz Honor-winning author of Stolen and Storm-Wake  "Peterson uses her own experience as a teenager in a cult to bring Piper's story to life through alternating before-and-after perspectives. These come together to create a rich, layered, and unflinching narrative of love, loss, and the struggle to become whole once again."&mdash;Booklist "Full of twists, turns, and emotional gut punches that will leave readers racing to the end to find out how all the puzzle pieces fit together. If you like psychological thrillers, Peterson's book needs to be on your list."&mdash;Eileen Cook, author of You Owe Me a Murder and With Malice
