Synopsis

The book follows the author-narrarator as an narcissistic, self-pitying drug fiend who gets a shot at redemption when movie star Jayne Dennis, an old flame, offers to marry him. The deal is that he must now connect with Robby, the son he has shunned for 11 years. Apparently among the unsettling events plaguing his life is the appearance of what appears to be a real-life incarnation of his fictional Bateman character.
