Query: HAPPY Birthday

I first heard about THE BIRTHDAY PARTY during an NPR interview with authoer Stanley Alpert. I'm a filmmaker and thought the story sounded very compelling -- I was not disappointed. Alpert weaves a great yarn, full of humor and suspense while wrapped in a deadly serious and intense background. He also manages to create a certain amount of empathy for his antagonists despite their deeds. A hugely entertaining read, with a wonderful message that anyone can relate too.
