'A sharply written, headlong romp'

LIONEL SHRIVER



Caleb Horowitz is twenty-seven, and his wildest dreams are about to come true. His manuscript has caught the attention of the literary agent, who offers him fame, fortune and a taste of the literary life. He can't wait for his book to be shopped around to every editor in New York, except one: Avi Dietsch, a college rival and the novel's 'inspiration.' 



When Avi gets his hands on Caleb's manuscript, he sees nothing but theft?and opportunity. 



And so Caleb is forced to make a Faustian bargain, one that tests his theories of success, ambition and the limits of art - and as he fights to right his mistakes and reclaim his name, he must burn every bridge and finally see his work from the perspective of those locked inside.
