Laying bare the lives and illusions of professional and would-be writers as well as the hangers-on who inhabit the literary world, this novel is sexy, outrageous, devastating, and satirical. It has a compassion for its characters whose parallel lives, propelled by ambition and disappointment, turn to collide head-on in fulfillment of relentless destiny.

Book Description Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. BE6 - A trade paperback book in very good condition. A tight, clean, sound copy in color wraps with minor overall shelf wear plus a paper punch on the top front right of the front cover. A bawdy, utterly irreverent send-up of the literary scene. In a riotous odyssey, blocked writer Eliot Morrison is swept from New York with its agents, actresses and "desperation panic states" to the seedy, once-grand Hotel San Marcos on the California coast for a week-long writers' conference. While his fellow writers are driven by literary ambitions to savage one another's work and one another, Eliot finds himself at the center of a bizarre turn of events that cuminates in senseless and absurd violence. 236p. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Seller Inventory # SCW00250
