![]() ![]() I was unexpectedly moved to tears by the sheer beauty of the writing and the inventive, ingenious way the ending circles back to the beginning. Simon’s first major assignment is to edit a trashy novel (excerpts are included-more fun!), and in so doing, struggles with the conflict between professional ambition and matters of conscience, between his background and what he wants for his future. This is the post-college coming of age story of Simon Putnam (his name a mash-up of 2 famous publishers), whose first job at a small highbrow NYC publishing house gives Prose the opportunity to have some fun at the expense of publishers, and she doesn’t disappoint. ![]() The narrative is brilliantly inventive and clever, intelligent as ever, and ever so funny. We have been blessed with another Prose novel to love and cherish. ![]()
