| | Green, Gerald: The Last Angry Man (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | Thrasher, a young, high-powered executive, meets Abelman, the last angry man, who summarizes his view on life by saying, "The bastards just won't let you live." The doctor's practice is declining, he can't afford to retire or move away, and the local people certainly don't seem to love him. |
 | | The novel interweaves these two men's developing relationship, as Abelman agrees to do the show and Thrasher works to sell it to his bosses, with incidents from Abelman's earlier life. |
 | | In its portrayal of the world of advertising and television, The Last Angry Man is an artifact of the 1950s. |
