Of sky-high yearnings and smoking false starts on the way to the top. What is a rocket man? He has life under control just as much as he has himself, he doesn’t struggle and achieves something phenomenal at least once a week. The protagonists in Frank Goosen's unforgettable stories share one thing: they would all like to be rocket men but must settle for themselves. Frank Goosen's delicately intertwined stories take place in the here and now. They tell of the men of our present, of friendship, rivalry, and loyalty, of lost dreams, aging, and embarking on new journeys. As laconic as they are charming, as loving as they are funny, they explore the great themes of life and lead us in a wondrous way back to ourselves.
