The four-month odyssey of any literary lowlife. Occur middle America through the economic crisis of the Nixon era, this tragicomic, epistolary masterpiece chronicles everything Andrew Whittaker-literary journal editor, negligent landlord, and aspiring novelist-commits to newspaper during the period of four critical a few months. From his letters, journal entries, and fragments of fiction, to food lists and posted indicators, we find our hero hounded by tenants and collectors, harassed by way of a loathsome local arts group, suffering from his ex-wife, and living on a diet of deep-fried Spam, cupcakes, and Southern Comfort. Identified to redeem his failures and eviscerate his enemies, Whittaker hatches a grand plan. But as winter nears, his problems collect, and the disorder of his life threatens to overwhelm him.A send-up of the literary life and the loneliness and madness that accompanies it, Sam Savage proves that all the evidence is in the writing, that all the earth is, indeed, a level, and that get away from the mind's jail requires a demand performance.
