From Publishers Weekly
Rotter relies heavily on black street slang for comic effect in his zany debut, starting with chizapter 1. Wally Moscowitz, a self-described frumpy, kinda chubby little boring man living in Los Angeles, writes lyrics for rapper Oral B, the current star of Godz-Illa Records. When not penning lyrics full of four-letter words for Oral, Wally also writes dirty bedtime fables for adults, examples of which are sprinkled throughout the novel. Godz-Illa CEO Abraham Dandy Lyons has assured Wally that if anyone ever discovers that Oral B isn't writing his own lyrics, Wally will end up in a ditch. Soon, Wally's dog gets 'napped, goons are trying to kill Wally and everyone rushes to and fro against a backdrop of glitzy L.A. bizness thuggery. Rotter's a talented writer, though readers who find variations of the same joke funny enough to support the silly plot will be most rewarded.

Review
"Gabe Rotter will revolutionize the current political landscape with this authoritative, influential analysis of America's policy agenda. Okay, maybe not. But Wally Moscowitz for President."

-- Arianna Huffington, cofounder and editor in chief of The Huffington Post and author of On Becoming Fearless

"I thought I was funny. But after reading Duck Duck Wally, I'm not funny at all. Gabe Rotter is. (Even his name sounds funny.)"

-- Chuck Barris, author of The Big Question and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind

"I thoroughly enjoyed the hilarious, original, and very strange Duck Duck Wally. Gabe Rotter is hugely talented, extremely funny, and, I suspect, a complete lunatic -- a lunatic who sure can rhyme. Read this book fo shizzle."

-- Lisa Lutz, author of The Spellman Files

"Duck Duck Wally brilliantly exploits the absurdities of modern pop culture. Rotter's menagerie of oddball characters will have readers hooked from page one."

-- Brad Listi, author of Attention. Deficit. Disorder

"In addition to being a kick-ass debut novel, Duck Duck Wally is a complete abs workout that will tone and tighten your entire core! I haven't laughed this hard in a long time."

-- Will Clarke, author of The Worthy and Lord Vishnu's Love Handles

"[Duck Duck Wally] pays entertaining dividends in this slapstick send-up of show business in general and hip-hop in particular...there are plenty of laughs in this debut novel"
