About this listen

 A one-time aspiring author has seen his life take a tumble down the ladder of literary aspirations. Reluctantly, he finds a badly paid job as a reader of other peoples sitcoms. Then, suddenly, there's new hope: Hollywood, fame, money, and women are all within his eager grasp. He just has to do something awful. And get away with it!©2006 Ian Pattison (P)2007 Oakhill Publishing Ltd Genre Fiction Literary Fiction

Critic reviews

"Characterised by the same laugh-or-you'll-cry mentality of Pattison's screen work, this worthy page-turner is nevertheless a deeper and more involving study of ambition, failure and ultimately hollow success than Rab and Mary Doll's world ever touched upon." (The List)
