This short novel is a black comedy about fame, manipulation, 
pretension, and surviving it all. The narrator, a reprehensible and seedy 
journalist, sets out to interview a minor author, and in his own quest for 
glory, turns the author into the celebrity of the day. The sudden and 
untimely death of the author, with his latest work unfinished, presents a 
troubling dilemma for the narrator, which he resolves with no more 
conscience than he had when he began his quest. (Introduction by 
Christine Dufour)
