Nachzehrer, The Seaboard Review

Happy to see the first review of Nelson Keane’s Nachzehrer, up now at The Seaboard Review and written by TSR editor James Fisher.

The year is 1978. At a stoplight in Kitchener, Ontario a young man (the “Teacher”) in a red convertible Mustang encounters a homeless man (Gerald “Gary” Kurt Paine) wearing a steel German WWII helmet, flying goggles and an RAF officer’s uniform. It was a chance encounter that would change both their lives, as they became friends over the next four decades until Gary died in 2018 at age 99. The book begins with Gary’s obituary which sets the tone for the rest of this ingeniously written book.

The full review can be found here:

Meanwhile, we have a nice stack of signed copies at our office (see Direct Orders) and the book is also available online at Indigo, or Amazon.
