Aus dem Klappentext

#8217;s savvy novel, <b>Lit Life</b>, is a wickedly funny and provocative debut about the passions and perils of the writing life.<br><br>Set in Manhattan and the Hamptons, <b>Lit Life</b> takes the reader on a tour through the world of two eccentric writers.

In her hands was a copy of The Journals of John Cheever, a book her husband greatly admired. Now she could see why. Within its covers was a complete picture of the contemporary writer's inner life: paranoia, elation, heartbreaking loneliness, secret desires. Also inside was the day-by-day chronicle of a marriage, Cheever's mostly loveless, sexless alliance with his wife, Mary. Meryl inspected its pages ravenously, like a detective looking for clues.
