BESTSELLER

Book ID/图书代码: 00410310B41612

English Summary/英文概要: Jim Talbot, a writer with a dozen unpublished novels under his belt, has been roundly rejected by virtually every agent and publisher in the land, and is willing to go to extreme lengths to make his dream of literary stardom come true. Charles Randall, the eccentric founder and managing director of Tetragon Press, a small independent publisher that has managed to survive for thirty years in a fierce publishing environment dominated by corporate juggernauts, is about to be brutally sacked by a newly appointed business consultant. Inevitably, and calamitously, Charles and Jim’s paths are about to collide. A novel of intrigue, deceit and sheer desperation, Bestseller is a caustic portrait of contemporary culture and of Britain’s obsession with fame, success and becoming the next J.K. Rowling.

就在这个时候,吉姆和查尔斯决定放手一搏。

小说描写了绝望的境地,再现了当代文化以及伦敦对名声、成就的执迷,小说作者很有可能成为下一位JK罗琳。(兼职翻译-XJJ)
