Author Description

To survive a life-long quarrel with authority-and come out the winner-takes luck. Was it really just luck that took Irv Zuckerman from a Depression-era childhood in a Brighton Beach rooming house, through a life that should have ended at 20 in a French forest, to the boardrooms of some of the world's mightiest corporations and beyond? Or was it something else-a series of marvelous coincidences unexplainable by any rational means? Unlike his previous books, HIRE POWER (Putnam/Perigee 1993) and Guide for the Pissed-Off Job-Seeker (iUniverse, 2004), Just My Luck? is not a how-to book. Zuckerman makes it clear that-to this date, even he is not sure how it all happened.
