His career in law began as a Federal prosecutor until he went into private practice where he would be named one of "America's Most Powerful Lawyers" by the National Law Journal. Felder has written columns and OpEd pieces for
The tale encapsulates the essence of an urban America of a certain time and place in history. It is a story of essential themes in life: love and death, man's inhumanity to man, crime and divorce, a landscape that is as broad as America and Europe and as deep as the human soul. The memoir is, at core center, tender and brilliant, funny and heartbreaking.. A beautifully written, evocative memoir of the improbable lives of two brothers:Author Raoul Felder, well-known lawyer specializing in high-profile divorce cases and his brother Jerome, famous as a songwriter under the pseudony Doc Pomus. One can feel the heat of teeming city streets, the power of love, the legal wrestling of federal criminal cases, and the hate of divorces
In his witty memoir, Reflections in a Mirror: Of Love, Loss, Death and DivorceMr. Felder’s mirror is convex; he appears approachable but even larger than life. Then he segues into a career representing clients ranging from the former Miss America Bess Myerson’s lover (though not against her) to Rudolph W. Mr. And while many of his insights and anecdotes of celebrity misbehavior might sound familiar to regular readers of Page Six in The New York Post, he strings them together into a chatty and irreverent narrative. Felder knows how to tell a story. Felder channels Neil Simon, recalling a childhood in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, (and visiting his grandparents in Brighton Beach). It's an account of family ties, the evolution of a lawyer, and childhood and coming of age in pre-war America and post-war Europe.. Giuliani (about whom he reveals very little) .Mr. It's a lovely memoir of the lives of two brothers—one
"Author is obviously brilliant but ." according to Beverly S. Goldberg. Though well written, it seemed to me disjointed. However, I commend the author for writiing not only about himself but about the world he knew at different stages in his life. The problem is in following his life when his interjections obfuscate his autobiography. Worth reading for his beautiful sentences, terrific vocabulary, and a recent-history lesson.. "He's an excellent writer" according to Dian Burris. I knew he was a great lawyer, but this book is very descriptive of New York, and what it was like years ago. I think its a must read for someone who grew up there, and is close to his age. The youth that his poor brother had, was horrible, but there are good times, too. It really makes you happy for what you have today!!. Well worth reading Musicman A delightfully written book by a lovely man and a most accomplished attorney. You'll very much enjoy the writings and the real life story told.
