Reckless Abandon. depicts an up-and-coming playwright who deals with the toils of assembling a âdream projectâ involving Bob Dylan, Woody Allen, and Dustin Hoffman, and is set in the summer of 1984.
Reckless Abandon has been received glowingly by critics and readers alike. The novella has also been featured in stories within the pages of Bob Dylan ISIS magazine, Vague Visages, Empty Mirror Books, At the Barrier, and British Jewish News.
The Expanded Edition of Reckless Abandon, published in May 2022, features a new Foreword by Getty Images’ Katy Winn, and a new Afterword by Jared. Weeks before this release, Jared wrote this promo article that highlighted the various inspirations within the writing process, and some of its themes. In June 2022, Reckless Abandon was positively reviewed by Narcy Calamatta, a revered Maltese actor and director, in the U.K. journal, Whitstable Views.
The Expanded Edition of Reckless Abandon is available in Kindle, paperback, and hardcover formats.Â
âJared Feldschreiber delivers clean prose with succinct phrasing, along with moving passages about the protagonistâs search for creative clarity.â
â Q.V. Hough, Vague Visages
âEntertaining and tender yarn with detailed focus on faith and art in the 80s.â
â David Stewart, Arts Fuse
“An endearing feature is the extent [the author] has gone to ensure the historical accuracy of each of the contemporaneous events that provide the background of his story… The facts all fit together really well.”
– John Barlass, At the Barrier
“I enjoyed the idealism in Jared Feldschreiberâs Reckless Abandon. There is no cynicism in [the protagonist’s] quest. He is the apprentice trying to learn from his favourite sorcerers and to find his own creative voice in the process. He is enraptured by their work but has little interest in their celebrity, wealth of private lives. This portrait of a young would-be artist is evocative, concise and elegantly written.” – Geoffrey Macnab, Screen International; author (Ingmar Bergman: The Life and Films of the Last Great European Director)
âAt the core of the bookâs theme are the mysterious potent drivers of the creative process itself. I enjoyed this book very much.â
â Denise Enck, Empty Mirror Books
âWhat we have is an intriguing exercise in meta-fiction that allows the author, via the created narrator, a journalist with aspirations to becoming a playwright, to both create works called Reckless Abandon⊠Characters and artists are boxes within boxes, like Matryoshka dolls, which makes it most amusing.â
â Andrew Muir, Bob Dylan ISIS magazine Issue #205
âA truly imaginative one-of-a-kind exploration of a young manâs coming of, if not age, self actualization and truth.â
â Joan Cochran, author (The Yiddish Gangster’s Daughter)
â[This is a] must-read full of brilliant dialogues for those who love music, cinema, theatre, and literature itself.â
â Sergio Gandiglio, co-author (Bob Dylan in Italia: Un Fantastico Viaggio in 100 Concerti)

Jared covered Sundance Film Festival ’18 where he spoke briefly with Spike Lee who premiered his documentary, ‘Pass Over.’ Jared was more interested discussing with the famed director his Peabody-Award winning documentaries on Hurricane Katrina, and its aftermath. ‘I’m not doing another one,’ Lee told Jared.
