A sardonic look at the world of publishing through the jaundiced eye of a washed-up writer with delusions of grandeur. Justly celebrated for penning "Sad Old Bastards with Guitars" – cover versions of which abound on YouTube – Blacker was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 2017. "A brilliantly entertaining tale of envy and self-deception." –Newsday, [NY]
