THE MAN WHO CANCELLED HIMSELF

Book ID/图书代码： 03880017B99104

English Summary/英文概要： Stewart Hoag’s first novel made him the toast of New York. Everyone in Manhattan wanted to be his friend, and he traveled the cocktail circuit supported by Merilee, his wife, and Lulu, his basset hound. But when writer’s block sunk his second novel, his friends, money, and wife all disappeared. Only Lulu stuck by him.

The only opportunity left is ghostwriting—an undignified profession that still beats dental school. His first client is Sonny Day, an aging comic who was the king of slapstick three decades ago. Since he and his partner had a falling out in the late 1950s, Day has grown embittered and poor, until the only thing left for him to do is write a memoir. Hoagy and Lulu fly to Hollywood expecting a few months of sunshine and easy living. Instead they find Day’s corpse, and a murder rap with Hoagy’s name on it.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 史都华•霍格的首部小说让他成为纽约家喻户晓的人物。曼哈顿人人都想与他相识，在妻子梅里利和爱犬露露的支持下，参加了一场鸡尾酒会巡回旅行。但当作者的第二部小说没有获得预期效果时，他朋 友，妻子相继消失不见。唯有爱犬露露在旁陪伴。剩下唯一的机会就是做一名代笔影子写手，虽不体面但总比没有的要好。他的第一个客户叫桑尼•达伊，这是一位上了年纪的，三十年前蜚声闹剧喜剧界的风头人物。自从1950年年末他和搭档表演失常之后，达伊就变得贫苦不堪，剩下唯一自己的能做的事情，就是写回忆录。霍吉和爱犬来到好莱坞只是期望能渡过几个月的阳光灿烂和休闲时光。而不是找到达伊的尸体，被卷入这场谋杀事件中。 (Sandy)
