Rocket Men

Did you become the person you wanted to be when you grew up?

Frank Goosen describes the men of our times – from those who want to break out to those who seek stability. He writes of music and old friendships, of memories of first loves. Of men who have been abandoned and those who are still seeking love. Of men who are timid and men who are brave. They’d all like to be rocket men, but they have to be content with themselves.

Some of them realize just how wrong life can go, others unceremoniously give their lives a new twist. They’re all struggling with unfulfilled dreams and the fact that they’re getting older but some of them can make peace with themselves.

Laconic, subtle, funny and warm-hearted, Frank Goosen’s unforgettable stories take place in the here and now. They trace life’s biggest themes in a microcosmic space and teach us about ourselves in a wondrous way.
