Waiting Man
In some ways the writing of this book (Loser) was a family affair. Son Jeff James brought the Waiting Man to my attention; daughter-in-law Janet and grandson Zachary James helped with school matters ...
Hi,
What is "Waiting Man" in the above referring to?
Besides, I'm not so sure about the bolded part in the above? The author Spinelli isn't a teacher or a student, is he? Then why are there school matters that need help with? Thanks.

Hi, Is this from the dedictaion at the front of a book? If so, I'd assume the Waiting Man is somehow a part of the book, and also that the book in some way deals with matters related to schools. Clive

Hi,
It just means 'a man who is waiting'.
No, the phrase does not make me think of a restaurant 'waiter', if that's your question.
