Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer

Norman Oppenheimer is the President of New York based Oppenheimer Strategies. His word-of-mouth business is consulting work largely in American-Israel...i business and politics, that focus due to being Jewish. Most of that work is as a fixer: doing work that others don't want to do and with which they don't want to be officially associated. In reality, Norman is a shyster, and not a very good one at that. His office is comprised of his cell phone and whatever is stuffed in his satchel which is usually slung over his shoulder as he wanders the streets. What he promises is making connections, setting up a meeting between his guy and the other guy. Generally, "his guy" is non-existent, he dropping names of people he usually doesn't know to make connections. A usual tactic he uses is to say that his deceased wife was personally connected to so-and-so, such as being a babysitter, those stories always untrue. All he needs is for one of the people that he approaches to believe a story to build that network. Not so much a story, but an act of kindness with that ulterior motive does eventually pan out as the connection of which he could have only dreamed. He is able to build off that connection to become the toast of the town, a status upon which he tries to parlay into being an even bigger fish in the pond. But the greater his exposure, the greater the potential scrutiny about him as a person, which could bring his fragile network come crumbling down around him. Show More

nections, often to influential people, with the plan to monetize those connections. Norman's big break comes when he befriends Micha Eshel, a charismatic Israeli politician. Norman uses this connection to try to rise in New York's social and political elite, lavishing gifts upon Eshel and introducing him to influential people in the city. However, things take a turn when Eshel becomes the Prime Minister of Israel, and Norman's connection to him becomes both a blessing and a curse. As Norman's influence and power grow, so does his web of lies and deceit. Desperate to maintain his standing, Norman becomes entangled in a web of corruption, backstabbing, and betrayal. As his world begins to crumble around him, Norman must confront the consequences of his actions and the true cost of his desire for power and status. Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer is a character study of a man desperate to be someone important, and the tragic consequences that come with that desperation.
