Viva Lofton: Memoir of a Beginner Dad

I've followed Lonnie Lazar's writings about his son Lofton for many years. ving father-son connections are especially precious in an evolving world of Me Too and other reckonings. But the settings (Tibet, San Francisco, Spain, New Orleans, Memphis), and the unexpected cast of characters (Backstage with the Stones! In a sauna with Joe DlMaggio!) are reasons enough to recommend VIVA LOFTON."

-Lea Lane, author of the award-winning travel memoir, Places I Remember: 'Tales, Truths, Delights from Too Countries.

-Mr. Lazar has crafted a wonderful testament of his fascinating life, while tracing our generation's benchmarks. VIVA LOFTON is both beautiful and entertaining.

-Bob Eckstein, acclaimed cartoonist, .NY Times bestselling author of The Elements of Stress.

"Lazar quotes John Ford: When it's a choice between writing the story and writing the myth, write the myth.' VIVA LOFTON is like following a Greek hero through a mythic series of challenges and almost larger than life events. Each chapter is captivating, compelling, and filled with love."

-Anne Born, award-winning author of If You Stand Here and Local Color

"Lonnie Lazar has lived more than nine lives and he's got the raucous and touching stories that prove it. Lonnie lives deep, and this story's heart is flesh and blood, the touch of family-finding it, feeling it, creating it. Seek with this seeker, but buckle up for some extreme rides along the way."

-Robert Gordon, Emmy and Grammy Award winning author of It Came From Memphis and Respect Yourself Stan Records and the Soul Explosion.

About the Author

Lonnie Lazar has been writing about stuff on his mind since sometime back in the late 1960s. Much of what he's written has never been read by anyone, though a bit of it was published in a High School-era Literary Journal and, if you know how to work the Google and Wayback machines, more can be found on the Internet. This is his first book. He makes a living as a Trusts and Estate Planning attorney in Northern California.
