Very dark and very, very funny story of has-been (if he ever was) literary darling Gregory Keays -- a man who puts the added "unreliable" in your unreliable narrator. The less you know, the better you will enjoy it, but it might help to say a couple of things: Gregory is an APPALLING human being. Please don't let that put you off -- keep reading, there will come a moment when ... no, I can say no more.

My only other advice: if you have ever taught a creative writing class, or have been forced to suffer through a bad creative writing class, you might want to put aside hot beverages or sharp objects as you're reading. You might do yourself an injury ...
