Description:
Set in Manhattan and the Hamptons, Lit Life takes us on a romp through the world of two writers. Kyle Clayton, a "once-hot-now-not" young author/provocateur, moves through New York nightlife in an inebriated haze until he meets his literary hero, the dyspeptic and obscure novelist Richard Whitehurst, who is smitten with the notion of Kyle's former fame. Whitehurst is suffering his own form of breakdown, due to years of public ambivalence toward his work and the building neglect of his marriage. As these two collide, each finds in the other the crutch he has been seeking.
Expand description
The two writers get help from a cast of wonderfully drawn characters, including Richard's disillusioned wife, Meryl; his desperate-for-love drug-addict daughter, Kerry; and Larry Wabzug, an old-school agent and friend of both writers.
Wenzel's savvy, assured writing and strong sense of irony drive the book and the hilarity that ensues. Lit Life has all the elements of the perfect summer read.
