Shredded , or Death by Publishing , a spirited and disrespectful take on the third oldest profession. And why not? Foul play galore, deadly payoff, petty revenge, personality conflict, scandal,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Great read and quite a page turner. Some laugh out loud scenes and many more entertaining. Recommended.
The Smarmy Underside of the Books We Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Best-selling Barney Leason has written the definitive story of the publishers and editors who dictate our tastes in reading, "Shredded" is a biting satire of their lusts, their lies and their libels. With bold Swiftian thrusts, he skewers the evil geniuses who drive out good publishers and convert their gold into garbage. Two honest literary agents, in and our of love, and a rollicking novelist who refuses to buckle down eventually win a bittersweet victory against a background of violent death, treachery and tricky money games.
