Awful Truth About the Herbert Quarry Affair

"Marco, I'm jailed day and night with murderous thugs who can't tell Schiller from Shakespeare. I'm desperate for intellectual stimulus-but you'll do for now."
TV personality Marco Ocram is the world's only self-penned character, writing his life in real time as you read it. Marco's celebrity mentor, Herbert Quarry, grooms him to be the Jackson Pollock of literature, teaching him to splatter words on a page without thought or revision.
