The Not So Great American Novel

The "Great American Novel" was a concept illustrating the essence of a generation and its defining influences. Jim Doucette represents an American dream realized, although his journey to the 'Great American' ideal was at times, simply, 'Not-So-Great.' Jim invites us to look at this Dream through an era of post-war time, arising commerce, and the technology boom of cable television. In his entertaining memoir, he shares his journey from the farmlands of Maine to the streets of Brooklyn in the 1940s and 50s, and later reveals the backstage life of the cable television industry. Jim's unabashed style unveils the truth of politics in business, the tug-of-war between success and family, and the deeper, spiritual threads of life that inspired him. In this age of progress, The Not-So-Great American Novel is a refreshingly forthright narrative of irony and wisdom that will enlighten generations to come.
