About "Elated By Details"
About the Author
Appearances & Events
"Freedman has a novelist's eye and comedy-writer's pace."
-Fareed Zakaria, author of The Future of Freedom
"Adam Freedman writes with a refreshing tartness. Wry, witty, sharp and effervescent, these stories are like a gin and tonic on a summer afternoon."
-Rob Long, sitcom producer and
author of Conversations With My Agent
"Like all good authors, Freedman himself is elated by details, and these wicked and wise stories catalogue those details with pace and verve, precision and vivacity. One is tempted to make comparisons to Woody Allen, J.D. Salinger, Dorothy Parker, and other masters of the short story, only, Freedman arrives in full possession of that great, essential gift: a voice uniquely his own."
-Andrew Lewis Conn, author of P, The Novel
The Party of the First Part
is Adam Freedman's NEW book. It's a witty, user-friendly tour through the curious world of legalese. Why do lawyers refer to long documents as "briefs" and 18 year-olds as "infants"? Why do they use Latin when so few of their clients are Ancient Romans? Find out at The POFP Website!

"Having treated me to a sound drubbing in the stock market, bond market and futures market, my broker tried to get me into the one market left - the marriage market."
"I don't know about you, but whenever somebody asks me to 'set an example,' it usually backfires."
"Claudia summed it up nicely. 'What,' she asked, 'would make you drop everything and race across town?'"
"New Yorkers could not remember a better New Year."
