"John Hagan was born to tell stories. A Long Farewell is ample evidence. He creates the vivid word pictures of a consummate storyteller. He is a master of Midwest mid-twentieth century dialogue. If you seek to appreciate the era of Dwight David Eisenhower and Jean Paul Sartre in a new light, A Long Farewell is a must-read." -Robert J. Deger, Ph.D. Associate Professor of History and Political Science Gateway Community and Technical College "Every educator will laugh, cry, and understand; be perplexed by and relate to A Long Farewell.

Daniel Raisch, Ph.D. Associate Dean, Education and Allied Professions The University of Dayton "[A Long Farewell is] reminiscent of my own childhood experiences growing up in Ohio.

Thanks, John Hagan, for some easy and relaxing hours." -Kathleen Smith A Grosse Point Woods, Michigan Reader
