DIZZYING AND PROFOUND, PRETENTIOUS, HILARIOUS, SKIN-CRAWLING FUN—THE DEBUT NOVEL FROM ITS MYSTERIOUS AUTHOR HERALDS THE ARRIVAL OF A BRAZEN NEW VOICE IN CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE, WRITTEN FOR A GENERATION THAT NO LONGER READS FICTION.

The Author, the novel’s hero (antihero), is a mid-twenties-something flailing through Los Angeles on a deranged quest to become his generation’s preeminent (and only) celebrity author of fiction. 

Fueled by many drugs and a megalomaniacal ambition, The Author devises a master plan to first become a famous actor (as if that’s easier) and then leverage his success to make literature cool, once again. 

There’s just one problem…he despises acting and hates everyone, including himself. 

So begins The Author’s cavalcade of debauchery—crashing celebrity parties, dating influencers to leach their followers, lying his way onto Hollywood sets, eventually descending into addiction, crime, and despair. 

Somehow, absurdly, The Author manages to rise from the ashes and manifest his dreams, becoming the A-list star we all know and celebrate, and makes good on fulfilling his boyhood promise to write that damn novel (the one you’re holding).

 BIO:

 
The Author’s lawyers and agents have demanded him not to release this scandalous tell-all, in fear of one of their biggest talents being canceled. Thus, to satisfy the wishes of his representation, the author of this book has decided to keep his identity anonymous. His team has worked overtime to bury all associations made in this book to its author, including names, dates, locations, timelines, etc. Hence, “The Author.”
