Riding the Elephant

“[Ferguson] has mastered the skill of self-examination. Fortunately for us, the lad’s willing to share it, and his evocative writing makes it worthwhile.”
—The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

“Ferguson is a natural storyteller, sharp-witted and acutely observant of his surroundings. He’s capable of maintaining a light touch yet his stories often transcend whatever humorous incidents may occur. Collectively, they serve as often poignant meditations on the long journey toward his late-middle-aged self. An entertaining memoir by a humorist who has gained enlightening insight into living an authentic life.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“Humorous and heartfelt (often on the same page), Ferguson is a great story-teller, whose signature irreverence and comedic timing translates perfectly to print.”
—Library Journal

“As the title implies, the reader is along on a wayward and memorable journey.”
—Booklist

“A smart, humble, and witty memoir.”
—Publishers Weekly
